Household - 5th Apr 09 - report:
We were challenged to have conviction like that of Daniel, and to stand up for God even if it means standing alone.
Daniel believed in God’s great love. He knew God would never leave him. This led him to a deep, deep love for God as well. It was from this love that Daniel was able to sum up the courage to serve God, even if it meant having to stand-alone--even when it meant risking his life.
Very few of us will have the chance to stand up for God to the point of death. It would be great to believe that like Daniel, we will stand courageous and risk our lives out of our love for him. But we don’t have to wait for somebody to throw us into a lion’s den or point a gun at us to prove our love for God. Although we may not be fully aware of them, we face our “lion’s dens” everyday of our lives.
DARE TO BE DANIEL
Daniel has shown us a great example of faithfulness and courage. God saw these and rewarded him greatly. We too could be like Daniel, courageous enough to stand up for Jesus and faithful enough to make it last. And surely, if we become like Daniel our efforts here in YFC will be greatly rewarded.

Dare to be Daniel
Dare to stand-alone
Dare to have a purpose true
And dare to make it known

Reflection: Does my actions in front of my family, friends and classmates make it easy for me to evangelize, or does it make evangelization difficult?
