Standing up for What's Right

It's not always easy to do what's right, especially when everyone around you is doing the opposite of what's right. "Going with the flow" might seem like the easy choice at that moment, but trust me when I say, that decision will soon cause you more and more discomfort and slowly eat away at you. In most cases, that discomfort will never go away and will be with you for the rest of your life. You might eventually learn to live with that guilty feeling, but it will aways be there, that is, until you turn to God and repent. I pray you never have to feel that horrible pain, but should you make that mistake, and you probably will, I urge you to learn quickly that only God can provide you with the peace that will comfort you. Often times standing up for what you know is right will cost you (relationships, popularity, maybe even a job) but when you stand up for what's right because it's the right, Godly thing to do, none of what you lose will even come close to all that you will gain through God's blessings. God ALWAYS redeems and He WILL reward you for your obedience. "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." Matthew 7:13-14
