Starting the journey of faith is one thing. Staying on it is another.

How many people left Jesus when he was crucified - disciples included. Following him has implications; bigger for some than others and depends on factors often not in our control.

And when there is no threat, temptations are rampant to choose the easy way. Not the Jesus way.

Staying true to the journey of faith is not easy. It is not something I can do on my own strength. Only by the grace of God, can I stay on his path.
