Our heavenly citizenship unites us even when everything else divides us. The gospel calls us to stand together around the cross, not fracture over our differences.
No one enjoys seasons of difficulty, but as long as we live in this fallen world, they will be inevitable. When hardship comes into our lives, what a comfort to remember that, in Christ, our suffering is never wasted.
Spending time with Jesus allows us to see his love for us more clearly, leading us to greater discernment of his will. As Paul prayed in Philippians, let us pause, fix our eyes on Him, and listen so we can reflect His heart to others.
