Yesterday was such a glorious day being Easter Sunday! Not only was it a glorious day, it was also a great weather day where all of us could enjoy being outdoors for the afternoon and the grandkids playing in the yard the games they enjoy. God is sooo GOOD!

As I began to journal this morning I was pondering the struggles some family members are facing. The primary one is my nephew and his brain cancer. He is to hear (hopefully) this week what the treatment plan is so he can get this started. Along with this, my own grandkids have some things some of them are working through. So, I was journaling about all of this and asked Jesus to help them believe. In so doing He asked me if I believed? He went on to say that belief is the seed of faith. Once I believe, faith can begin to grow. Then He added that trust is the steadfastness of faith. If I believe, faith will grow and by trusting, faith will maintain.

As I pondered all of this it simply made me wonder why I ever step into the mental state of “wishing” my grandkids or anyone else will get through their present struggles? Jesus also reminded me that I lived a long time “wishing” for myself instead of believing. I don’t need to wait all of those years for anyone else. I do know believing and I do know faith and I do know trusting, so today I will believe and I will have faith and I will trust for I know my Risen Savior and HE IS FAITHFUL TO THE END!
