It’s hard to be honest

In a world where honesty

    Is considered weak.

It’s hard to be yourself

In a world where who

    You are is weird.

It’s hard to be vocal

In a world where your message

    Isn’t welcome.

But…it’s not impossible.

Daniel and his friends

Were honest about their intentions

    No lion bite for them.

Ruth was a Moabitess

An outcast among the Hebrews

    Yet she won Boaz’s heart.

Jesus spoke God’s message

Upsetting priests and Pharisees

    He spoke it anyway.

God’s right is His might.    

    d.f.a.v. 6/29/14
