Second Sunday in Lent

Mother Teresa, was once asked by a reporter in Calcutta, India whether she believed her work with the poor and marginalized was successful. Mother Teresa lovingly responded, "God does not call us to be successful, He calls us to be faithful."

The demonstration of Abraham's faithfulness in the book of Genesis, when he was on the verge of sacrificing his own beloved son Isaac, is critical in helping humanity understand God's intentions when it comes to trials and tribulations. God does not test humanity to crucify, rather through faithfulness to Him, He aims to crown humanity with righteousness. 

As we are now in the second week of Lent, what areas of our lives do we see God's invitation to persevere in faithfulness?
