Be brave

For a while now every single day had been a drag. Not necessarily bad, but yes burdensome. Finally I got to the point of saying "God, please do something... I just can't keep this up"
His answer was a soft whiper:
Be brave.
I knew what He was talking about.
Weeks ago I had a problem with the principal of the school. I had not spoken to her, despite the fact that I knew I should. It was important to get the uglyness out before an infection grew but I kept postponing it.
I postponed it for the very same reason we all postpone doing this type of things. Confronting others is no easy task. Usually instead of cleaning up a mess things turn out worse.
So I postponed my duty.
Be brave.

Assured that God was going to be with me... no matter what came out of the whole issue.... this morning I went and talked to the principal.
In a way it was strange. She did not shout or anything, but at the same time we did not reach that point of being friends... BUT, BUT, BUT something happened in my spiritual realm. I inmediatly started to feel strength coming back into my very own veins, and my soul drank from this refreshing waters too.
God rewarding my obedience.
wow.
Be brave.
I have always kept these words in a strong determined voice type of frame, but this time God just gently whispered them words into my soul.

Be brave.

Somebody must whisper this words more often... somebody should obey this voice more often

Be brave. I will back you up.

Who was it that said "Evil will continue to triumph as long as good people do nothing."?
I forget right now, maybe Ghandi or Martin Luther King, maybe somebody else but I am sure they both would agree with this phrase.
I know it is true...
and I know God agrees.
Be brave.
