This traveler
I'm a sinner. I slip. I fall. I get up. I keep going. I conquer my fears and temptations through the comfort and conviction of the Holy Spirit. I have all I need to follow Christ the rest of my days. My body is weakening and will someday fail, but my spirit is sealed for the day of redemption. Our journey can seem long and dark and difficult, but it will lead to joy. Jesus will guide us home. We're called to run the race with patient endurance. Let's help one another walk and not faint. If we do, someday we'll hear our Lord say, "Well done." —Patrick Luscri
