Daily BITUB- “Matters of the Conscience”

 "In matters of conscience, stand like a rock."- John Maxwell 

We will all run into those relationships where we are left wondering why people act the way they act. They say the right things to the right people, but their actions are not at all reflective of that. You want to trust them, but time and time again they let you down. The hard part is what do you do when you feel like it won't matter to speak up, speak out, call them out? This isn't a situation where you can simply walk away as their actions affect many. I've found myself standing right in the middle of this situation over and over. We have a tendency to pacify ourselves with the notion that real change is possible, but at some point even that feeling goes away as you realize they won't change. Yet, my conscience won't allow me to do nothing. The desire to do what is right matters. The passion to ensure we are all accountable matters. You have to be the voice when nobody else will be. You have non-negotiable values, principles, and personal guidelines that are called into play. If it matters then you ensure people know it does. It may be the fight of your life, but you know it's worth it. You know that the outcome, regardless of what it is, will leave you intact. It will leave you whole and a heart full because you didn't allow the easy road to compromise what is important to you. We need more people like that. We need more people willing to listen, to see, to act and to ensure that accountability and expectations are not just for a few, but for all, and it is our conscience that tells us we must fight to let that be known. 

Believe In The Unbelievable that is YOU and my prayer for you today is that if you find yourself in a moment where you must swim upstream you have the courage to know you can and you may be doing what others can't or simply are not willing to do.

Have a blessed, healthy, and safe day.
