To walk as Jesus walked, we must be willing to endure the struggles and moments of betrayal, burden, heartache, and grief that come with life. Although Jesus was fully divine, he was also fully human and experienced the same emotions and challenges that we face without falling into sinful nature.

The year 2023 was a year of both growth and grief for many of us. His faithfulness and holy scripture guide us on how to endure and move forward. Trusting in Him and His timing helps us cultivate and strengthen our faith, and He uses everything we experience to bring us closer to Him and glorify Himself.

It's easy to make things about ourselves, but we must remember that everything was made through Him and for Him. Colossians 1:16-17 tells us, “For by Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.”

God's perfect plan doesn't come without moments of growth, but Romans reminds us that we can find hope even while suffering. “And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.” (Romans 5:3-5)

We can endure life’s most difficult challenges because He who promises is faithful.
