A True Hero

The definition of a hero to me would be someone who is very brave and noble. The first thing that pops up in my mind when I think about a hero is all those superhero cartoons I use to watch when I was really young. Those kind of heros, however, do not exsist. A hero can be anybody, like me or you that does something bold and brave to help a cause. Being a hero can be something as simple as being generous or donating money or your time to someone less fortunate. Those kinds of things as simple as that are considered to be heroic acts. Some people do heroic things and might not even know that they are being a hero. One of my friends that goes to my church did a very awesome heroic act and he might not even realize it. He dated a girl for a few years who didn't believe in God when they first started dating. As the relationship went on, they started reading verses in the Bible together and started to have small Bible studies over the phone and in person. Because of him dating this girl, he became a christian example to her and helped her to believe in God. She recently got saved and accepted Christ into her life. By my friend dating her and helping her, he saved her life. He didn't save her life physically, he saved her life eternally. Because of him, she has a wonderful life in heaven in store for her. He was bold and brave in his beliefs and was not ashamed or selfish in sharing them. To me, that is a true example of a hero!
