Not Fail To See Him, Know Him
Life holds many traps. What we think we see is not what exists. Beware the trap of a superficial knowledge of God.

Grace Upon Grace
How often do we fail in love? What is God’s response? Are we discarded like a broken vessel? “Grace doesn’t throw you away. It stitches you back together, lets the seam breathe, and calls it beautiful.” (Tina Francis in Forward Day by Day.) “For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.” (John 1:16) Abundant grace for the abundant life.

Your Grandpa Loves You
My friend, Sebastian, writes a daily blog to his 7 grandchildren. He has been doing this for years without interruption. With profound clarity and simplicity, Sebastian applies Holy Scripture in a way that makes sense to his grandchildren. He has allowed me to share his writings, below.
"If it's God's will, it will be and nothing will stop it. Be patient-God has a plan and it's good."
(Proverbs 19:21)
Gods Will is inevitable! So stop agonizing over things you can't control. Don't let overthinking steal your peace. Just pray, trust Him, and let it go. God will fix that situation you're stressing about. One day you'll look back, as you've done many times before, and realize He was working the whole time. Even when you think He's not acting in your best interest, there's always a purpose and a reason for what He does. God knows what He's doing. He never makes mistakes.
Your grandpa loves you.
