Greetings Prayer Warriors,
Have you noticed it isn’t as easy living as a Christian as it may have been decades ago? There is both a subtle and not so subtle push against Christian principles. There is a current against any type of Godly virtue, especially when it comes to morality (and even dress). Truth is now pedaled as relative, not objective (ie “My truth”). In a “look at me world” humility has been tossed aside, never considered (and seldom taught). A practicing Christian now stands out as “different”.
Let’s embrace different! People need to see and experience more charity, kindness, patience, forgiveness, generosity, attentiveness, temperance, wisdom, respect, etc. Let’s never be daunted by living a virtuous life on full display. Let’s not worry about the pushback or lack of acceptance, nor be discouraged when we fall, but arise in the joy and freedom only found in Christ.
We are afflicted in every way, but not constrained; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our body. 2 Corinthians 4:8-10
Begin building the virtues in your family, find a like-minded community, and go out and shine His light in this darkened world. But of course, pray first!
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
We do nothing alone. Begin each day in prayer. Pass it on!
