Hello Everyone,
It's been on my heart to start writing again so here goes. Today I want to talk about being true to yourself. Have you ever been in a place were someone says or does something that you don't agree with? Maybe you see someone at school bullying someone or saying something bad about someone. I have found myself listening to people with views that differ from what I truly believe. I've tried to reconcile some of those opinions and beliefs and tried to "go along" with them in my spirit but it never felt right.
Here's the thing. I never felt peace until I finally decided that no matter who I am around or what they say, I'm going to be true to what I believe. I'm going to stand up for what I believe is right regardless of whether it's popular or not. It may seem cool if you are part of the in crowd at school and they want to make fun of someone but it's not. It may seem cool to talk about someone behind their back but it's not. It may seem cool to agree with the "new age" standards that many people in the world want to set but it's not.
What standards am I talking about? Well that's a question that I will leave to you. I will tell you this. If you really don't know how you feel about any particular issue, pick up your Bible and get God's opinion on the subject. While it may not be the most popular, it will definitely be the right one.
Before I finish, I want to say that it's not always OK to run around spouting your opinion to anyone and everyone. If you feel inclined to tell every person you meet what you feel or your opinion, that isn't right either. If someone has a different opinion that you, it's OK. What's not OK is for you to change your opinion on any subject just to try to fit in with the crowd.
While it's a little short and sweet, that's the Opinion of the Minion.
