Keeping the Faith

God is amazing. Even in the midst of many troubles, He continues to work. He continues to be faithful, to inspire, to comfort, to lead. My son-in-law is sitting in Mexico right now, waiting for the okay to come back to his wife and children who are oh-so-eagerly awaiting his return. Nothing is easy about this on either side. In fact, it's so mentally, emotionally, and physically draining, it could cause you to wonder if doing the "right thing" is all it's cracked up to be.

But I look at my daughter, and I listen to my son-in-law, as they both proclaim their faith and trust in God to see them through. Even through the tears, even through the pain, they continue to trust Him. Even after having their hopes crushed more than once, they continue to trust Him.

And I know it's God Himself who has drawn near to them and given them this gift. Only He can have this effect on people. No matter how bad it gets, I'm here. And I'm never going to let you go.

He's the only one who could make them this confident. Thank you, Lord, for your everlasting love.
