In our Christian walk, it's often difficult to accept what is the reality of our sin and the weight it holds. The Christian walk is dynamic; it’s a journey. We can easily feel like we are ‘stuck’, trying to find our way. Fortunately, Christ is always there, beckoning us back to our true calling in Him. Grace is sufficient and in it, we have the unique ability to offer insight and community to those around us who may very well be going through something very similar.
“It is difficult to know the true spiritual state of those who have only known the mountaintop but never the valley, only ease but never pain. But there is strange encouragement in the distressing afflictions of the Christian experience. This is safe ground. For this is the path Christ walked, and in finding ourselves on that path we know we are not fair-weather disciples.”
