Jesus has promised to be with us forever, but that only helps us when we sincerely believe it. It's easy to talk about it when the times are good, but the hard part, the part which truly shows up the strength and maturity of our faith is when the storms of life accost us, as they do all of us at varying times in life. The disciples who had seen all the miraculous works of Jesus didn't have the required faith, even with Him in the boat with them when a storm physically lashed their boat as they crossed the sea of Galilee, that's why Jesus rebuked them, along with the wind and the sea. Please friends, our faith needs to be stronger than that, especially since we have the Bible and all the other good stuff that the disciples lacked. It's time we took very seriously all the Bible tells us and begin living very courageously for Jesus! That's the only way to live the abundant life He died for us to have. Much LOVE!
