Why do we call this day "Good Friday"? It seems so hard to find any good in it at all. Rebellion, abuse, desertion, lies, deceit, bullying, murder; the list is unending. Yet, on that day, just as on every single day of our lives, the one true "Good" is there. Never ceasing and always faithful, Christ's pure love shines goodness and light into every dark moment of our lives.

So when the chief priests and the officers saw Him, they cried out saying, "Crucify, crucify!" Pilate said to them, "Take Him yourselves and crucify Him, for I find no guilt in Him." John 19:6

April 7, 2017 – Belief

I do believe. But sometimes I hear comments and witness moments that shake this belief.  “What if?” . . . “Perhaps” . . . “Could it be”, filters into my conscience and I devote a lot of time exploring these subjects to test my heart. But, as I explore, what stays with me is this: no other situation in my life, no other moment, no other belief brings me a truer peace than the realization that God is my supreme creator. He is capable of anything, anything at all. And when I place my trust in this belief, and in my relationship with Him, He reveals marvelous things to me.  This is what I trust, this is where my heart is.

“For you have said, ‘My teaching is pure, and I am innocent in your eyes.’ “But would that God might speak, and open His lips against you, and show you the secrets of wisdom! For sound wisdom has two sides. Job 11:4-6
