When God whispers, heroic acts dawn their glory in the transcendence of time and press onto the hearts of man. Few stand against the darkness that seeks to destroy, but faithful servants embrace the eternal flame of God’s radiance. A hero finds no glory in fame, but in the dynamic tension of death to self and God’s honor. Self limits its sphere of influence, but for the faithful, God’s influence is forever unfettered.
When God whispers, heroes drink deep from the well of faith, angels listen and men draw near to eternity. Heroes walk among us and unleash God’s righteousness without abandon. We seldom notice the glow of goodness around us, but when our eyes shine with Christ’s image we comprehend the battle of righteousness. Heroes walk daily in our midst and as the Word speaks, we entertain angels unaware.
When God whispers, eagle wings fan the crown of thorn’s passion within us and we wear the hero’s crown. Earthly crowns of beauty, logic, education or talent clothed in tawdry shine squander their days in the poverty of dust. The hero’s crown festooned with thorns imprisons self in heaven’s glory that radiates God’s beauty, mercy and grace. It is worn by the child of God and placed by the Son of Man.
When God whispers, sacrifice comprehends its courage and life draws near to heaven’s gate. To those whose acts are weighted by death and the love ones left behind; to those whose lives are changed forever by disease and loss of limb, you are the epitome of courage and heroism. Your strength finds its place when grief has set you free. You are heroes whom God cradles tight to His bosom for God knows your name.
When God whispers, the hero’s song resonates in heaven’s realm and man reveres its sound. We hear the heroic aria and teach the unteachable, forgive the unforgivable, accept the unacceptable, and love the unlovable. God honors the unsung heroes who hum its tune, sing it’s lyrics and live its message. We learn to stand alone with God, and know that it is good. These acts dawn their glory in the transcendence of time and pressed onto the hearts of man. Of this I am certain.
