Living faith can be a challenge

We are not asked to live faith

just when things are going well

and we feel the love of Jesus

so strong that we want to tell everyone!

No, faith is lived also when we are lonely

When we are disappointed or hurt

When we find it hard to forgive

Oh yes, during these times is

when are faith is tested and

we find  how much we

really want to follow Jesus

But it is during these times

when our faith can become stronger

Our love and relationship with Jesus can grow

So- I guess these times are gifts too

But as we all know

Sure doesn't feel like it

So - today are we going to be

a follower of Jesus in faith?

Jesus, please help me to follow

you even more passionately when

times aren't going well

It is then when I turn to

you for help and your

wonderful ever present love to guide me

Amen
