*

Sometimes I wish that I could see Jesus the way I saw him this morning. Standing in the corner, watching over us, delighted with our laughter. Believing is so much easier when something is in front of you.

That's why long distance relationships are hard. They force you to believe in something that isn't in front of you. To trust someone with all of your heart, even when they are most capable of hurting you.

I can't help but question that if I had seen Jesus and everything He did, would I really find it easier to believe?

That's an interesting thought. But I think of Thomas. Even when Jesus rose from the grave he still had to feel the holes in his hands! He was there and was known as the Doubter. I can't even imagine how I would react!
