Here are some thoughts from Zig Ziglar, American author and motivational speaker:

“The foundation stones for a balanced success are honesty, character, integrity, faith, love, and loyalty.”

It’s interesting that Mr. Ziglar considered faith and loyalty to be among the cornerstones of living a balanced life. We think this is particularly important because we have quite a week ahead of us as we move into the seasons of both Passover and Holy Week.

Passover is a festival of freedom commemorating the Israelites’ Exodus from Egypt and from slavery when the Jewish people worship God through prayer and study during the final Seder meal.

For Christians, there are some important aspects of Holy Week that include Maundy Thursday, which commemorates the Last Supper that Christ shared with his disciples, Good Friday, as Christ took on the sins of the world, and Easter Sunday when Christians celebrate Christ’s resurrection, representing freedom from slavery to the evils of this world.

Loyalty to our faith allows us the freedom to experience the fullness of God and pursue a relationship with Him in ways that we are both comfortable and comforted.

Wishing you the fullness of the season and contend for your faith to grow!
