“A faithful person will be richly blessed…” Proverbs 28:20

I recently saw a Facebook posting about an individual’s personal heroes of the faith.  While I do not know this person very well, I knew just about everyone on their list, and I certainly can understand why each person was there; they were worldwide leaders who have impacted our movement in very positive ways. 

Each of us have individuals who have touched our lives and inspired us to be the best we can be. Some people impact our lives from positions of leadership and authority; others by simply being there, often going almost unnoticed.  The latter will seldom receive accolades or praises of the masses;  they will never show up on organization’s walls of esteemed leaders of the past.  These people humbly walk through life being faithful; offering their lives to both God and the people they serve.  I thank God for the silent faithful, while they may never receive many honors here; I think maybe they are close to the top of God’s list of heroes.
