The Path of Perseverance

Is it spring? Is it winter? It could be a beautiful spring day today and blustery tomorrow. The forsythia are in bloom and then covered with a beautiful blanket of snow. Oh, when will the sunshine, warm breezes and beauty of the day be here on a regular basis? But we persevere! We know the beauty of the day is just around the corner, just as we know that the joy of Easter is at the end of this 40 day Lenten path. Commitment and focus draw us through the path to the rebirth of spring, just as it draws us along the Lenten path toward the resurrection of Christ.

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart." Hebrews 12:1-3
