#1 of 15 Songs of Ascent: I’m trying to be a person of peace in a world that’s hungry for war and ready to pick a fight. I’m trying to hold the faith in a sea of unbelief. I’m trying to live the truth where hypocrisy is the norm. It’s one thing if I suffer when doing wrong or being a jerk. I deserve it then. Sometimes I suffer even when I’m trying to do good and seek peace, and it can be incredibly surprising. When I do, God, remind me I’m walking the Jesus way and I am not alone.
