2020 taught me a lot about my faith in God. Above all else, I knew for certain that I don’t believe or follow Christ for what He can give me.

When I lost my child in March, I had a lot of questions. If I’m being honest, I still do. Nevertheless, I was convinced of one thing

1/5
And that is the unshakeable truth that Jesus loves me. I can say this because I know how He proved His love.

Not by material things. Not by perfect health. Not by a baby. God’s love was poured out for me and demonstrated on the cross.

Every day, I would wake and ask myself

2/5
“Do you still believe that Jesus Christ is real? Do you believe that died for you?” With my heart breaking and my voice shaking, I’d say yes.

Not out of faith, but because I really did believe! I still do. The 'realness' of God is hinged on my salvation, not on miracles.

3/5
Which I’ve not given up expecting, or even seeing in my life.

I have no idea why I’m saying all of this. Maybe someone needs to hear it, maybe I just need to say it.

The fact remains that GOD IS REAL.

4/5
Even in your grief, remember why you first believed. Meditate on it very well.

Also know that some questions, you may never get answers to until you see Him face to face. And even then, it may not matter anymore.

The cross is proof of God’s love. Not miracles. Remember.

5/5
Addendum: Please keep preaching this Gospel. Many people abandon the faith and I can’t really blame them because they probably heard a message that painted Jesus as some genie in a lamp who granted wishes.

And if someone says they don’t believe anymore, just pray for them. 💜
