"You must never be fearful about what you are doing if it is right." Rosa Parks
When my children and I study black history month every year, I am reminded and in awe of the strength, boldness, and bravery of the black men and women who have worked and fought so hard for equal rights in America. Our nation is one that stands for freedom, and yet it doesn't always give that freedom as equally as it should. While I have not experienced these prejudices myself and could never speak from that experience, I can deeply appreciate and admire these leaders who have taken a stand even when it meant a threat to their lives.
As a Christian, I want to try to live by that same conviction- that I am going to stand up for what I believe is right, help others in need, take a stand when I see injustice, and teach my children the value of honor and respect. Let us learn from great civil rights leaders to be bold in our faith and proactive in making a difference in this world for the glory of God.
"Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow's cause." Isaiah 1:7
