Doing What's True

Do you sometimes base what you do as right because of a feeling you get, or because of others' reactions?

Or because it's hard?

I have a little secret:

Just because something is hard to do doesn't mean you should do it.

A lot of times these factors are important in our decision making (feelings, others' opinions, and even level of hardship).

 But they aren't the most important factors, or even the ruling factors.

Something is always either right or wrong, true or false, no matter how others may applaud or even persecute you or even the feelings of satisfaction you may receive from what you do.

Feelings change.

People's opinions change.

Hardships change according to culture and times.

  But facts never change. 

Hard may be good, but it's not ultimate.

Do what's right not because of others words. Not because of what is considered worthy (or unworthy. But do what is true and perfect according to God's standards.

We aren't to pursue persecution, but perfection (God's).
