Sacred or Scared?
-by Jill Tomey
When we are in the midst of trials, we can feel scared. As a person of faith, we can turn scared into sacred. It is more than just switching two letters. We need to find the holy in what we are Enduring. By offering up our suffering and joining it to the cross, we give our pain meaning and make it sacred. It is much easier to Endure a hardship when it has purpose. When we choose sacred over scared, we can strengthen our Faith and Endurance by responding in prayer and acceptance. The more we Endure, the more we build our Endurance and with it, hope for successful resolutions.
What will you place at the foot of the cross?
