4 And let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing. (James 1:4 CSB)

Endurance is a good term for us to focus on this year, because it has been a test of endurance for all of us.

But maybe, just maybe, we are being taught something. Maybe we are being taught that we need to allow this to play out so that endurance can have its full effect. I believe, as a country, we could use some maturing as we lack in much.

I have avoided, and will continue to avoid, getting into debates about the many galvanizing topics of 2020. However, there is one thing I will continue to stand upon and that is the stance for love.

If we can just mature a bit more and love a bit more maybe we can improve. But I can only do so through my own growth and maturing, which I work on daily.

If each of us practiced love more, we could endure and change the world.
