And there is comfort in knowing that God understands and cares for him and for my other children on a level deeper than I do.

…did not just set a ladder for us to go up, but God intended for Christ to come down. Seeing honestly the obstacles, the pain, the battles, the fear, and yet still believing that the goodness of God intervenes in our world, here and now—that is hope. Because hope isn’t something tacked on to the gospel as an afterthought. It’s not wishful thinking, weakness, or blind optimism that acts as if problems don’t exist. Hope isn’t a life raft we just hav…
