Lesson #11

Lesson #11: My church, COF, sings one song (Live What I Believe) with the following lyric: “Let my life be the proof of the hope found in You." That’s exactly what God has planned for our little family. He wants our lives to be the proof.

The song also says "thank you for the chance to live what I believe." It's actually extremely hard to thank Him for "this" chance to live what we believe. It's hard to thank him for "taking Zavier" from us - just to live what we believe.

For me, it is easier to thank Him that "Zavier is safe", eternally safe and eternally happy. I do love that Zavier only experienced unconditional love.

Nothing is easy...God didn't promise "easy". But often times, I find myself wondering...why couldn't He give us another way, another kind of chance to live what we believe...something, well, "easy". But that's not what He promises.

In this moment, I choose to trust God.
