Today, the repeated phrase, “to the degree” stood out to me.
“Good women of the world will be drawn to the Church… to the degree that women of the Church”:
- Reflect righteousness and articulateness in their lives.
- Are seen as distinct and different–in happy ways– from the women of the world.
To the degree implies we can grow in our ability to repent, be seen, and be understood.
To the degree implies that we choose the depth of our discipleship to Christ. We also choose the level by which we are seen as disciples.
To the degree implies that our potential influence is vast.
What will we do with this call to be different, to reflect righteousness, to articulate truth, to have the courage to be seen?
