Facing Hardships?
…bear your share of hardship for the Gospel with the strength that comes from God…and the grace bestowed on us in Christ Jesus…
2 Timothy 1:8, 9
St. Paul, the prisoner, knows of hardship. We may face physical and emotional hardships due to our choices for Christ and the teachings of his Church. Standing up or standing out from among our peers or families when it comes to this faith, we may naturally fear facing scorn, being ostracized or worse. I can’t pretend it hasn’t happened to me, and the short list of my losses includes friends, opportunities and income I thought I needed. Your list may be different. But Paul encourages us not to keep score, for some losses are gains. And, most importantly, we are not alone: What we suffer is not unknown to Christ. For he is inside each suffering with us. His strength is promised so we can live this call. The struggle is real, but greater still are the consolations in following Christ and walking with the Church, for that is where we experience grace.
