Are we not afraid of so many things? Being hurt, killed, or worse, having someone we love be killed. Fear is a constant. We are very small individuals in a vast, unmeasurable universe.
Our faith calls us to be not afraid. We are the children of the creator of the universe. Do we sometimes hate what our kids do? Yet in the next moment we would risk our lives to protect them without question.
Even at their worst, our kids still receive our protection. Imagine the power of an all might God in protecting his children.
But God’s ways are not our ways. There is a perspective on all things that is beyond our comprehension. The terrors and troubles of this world are but knee scratches to Him. Although he knows our pain, Jesus saw to that, he sees it in the conversation Nye this of all creation.
His plan is for us to be with him. We can trust Him in everything that happens we have been given the strength to deal with it.
Mark K.
