To be completely honest, I've been struggling. Mostly just struggling with my faith, as the attacks from the enemy come more and more as I near my departure for Haiti. Some days I wonder if there really is a God, or maybe everyone is just making this up. But every single time I begin to wonder, I begin to doubt, I seek out the truth that I've discovered again and again so many times: Jesus is alive!
I thank God that even in my unbelief and weakness He still loves, even when I question His existence after He has does so much for me! I thank God that we are able to seek out the truth, to question Him, because in the seeking and the questioning we will find Him. And I find that very reassuring. Especially today, when we celebrate His resurrection all the world, I'm reminded again that just when it seems that Satan has had the final say, and darkness has won, Jesus Christ will always win. He will always overcome. He did it about 1980 years ago, He's doing it today, and he will eventually have the final victory when Satan goes into the fiery lake of burning sulfur along with everyone else who has ever partnered with Him.
Jesus is capable of overcoming the enemy in any situation. He'll overcome in our finances. He'll overcome in our health. He'll help us overcome in times of suffering and persecution. He'll help us stand strong to the very end. He'll help us love Him more. And one of my favorite things to think about: He'll overcome Satan in the land of Haiti!
So please enjoy this short movie about Haiti, and remember that country in your prayers, because Jesus is capable of completely overcoming the darkness in the land!
Such doubt is part of our journey this side of eternity....and such assurance is ours because of the Resurrection. He is Risen! Indeed.
