As we follow our Lord, our lifestyle will be different, not necessarily conforming to our culture and the current trends of the time! We have the assurance that we are accompanied by God every step of the way! Having God in our life was not a promise of a garland strewn road to heaven! When life feels unfair, when trust is broken or betrayal occurs... our Lord IS WITH us to shoulder the burden! We are sharing in His sufferings and His Redemption... as we walk side by side with Him! For "His yoke is easy and His burdens are light"! Persecution is a sure sign we are walking on the path mapped out for us, subtle persecution, but rampant in our world today: raised eyebrows when praying in public, certain moral standards that we abide by, ridicule at valuing life, and so on! God is by our side! Stay Strong, Stay the Course as we are lead to the path He has prepared for us! Keep us going Lord one sure step at a time! Love and prayers! ✝️
