As I read the lives of martyrs, I wonder if I have the boldness they had. Many were not afraid of practicing their faith in a public way, even though they knew they would suffer torture and death. Only with God's grace was this possible. I pray that I may  be bold at all times, whether persecuted openly or even indirectly. The depth of my boldness will be reflective of the depth of my relationship with God. His faithfulness is steadfastness, may my boldness be as well.
