This journey is a life long process-a marathon, not a sprint! We are ALL "works in process" and God is NOT finished with us yet! Each day we are given opportunities to embrace the difficulties, persecution and trials of this life with Grace, Dignity and Courage! God provides the Strength for this as we are unable to do this on our own! Reliance, Dependence and Trust in the Lord are the necessary components!! These persecutions so rampant today are subtle raised eyebrows as we pray before meals, our standards of morality, ridicule for keeping the Lord's day holy, and so on! We are children of the Light! May we rejoice and be glad when persecutions come, for it us then we are United WITH our Lord on the Road to Eternal Life! Love and prayers! ✝️
