Today's Scripture
"Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, His mother: 'This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul too.'" Luke 2:34-35

Key takeaway for the day: 

Following Jesus isn’t easy, but He gives us strength to overcome.
