Good Morning, God
The headlines ask the question: "Who are our heroes?" The stories behind this particular headline is about folks who are missionaries for Jesus among their own people, risking their lives daily, hourly, to spread the good news of Jesus Christ where they live and work.
You know these people, Lord; in fact, you admire these people and hold them out to the rest of us who would be your followers. Furthermore, Lord, you encourage all of us, whether or not we believe in your Son, Jesus, to be a "hero" to someone else. Perhaps a dad can be a hero to a son or daughter by being a constant positive, loving, encouraging presence in that son's or daughter's life. Perhaps a mom can be a hero to a son or daughter by teaching him or her to be persistent yet patient, to dream big dreams and pursue them and to become all that he or she can become with what they have.
Lord, thank you for our heroes who maybe aren't martyred in death but who give of themselves totally selflessly.
In Jesus name, Amen
