DOUBTING THOMAS

I just read a great post by John Piper, I Will Never Believe. It's a retelling of Thomas, and how he doubted that Christ had risen; basically he had to see it to believe it. It's such a great reminder of God's Sovereignty in context of the unbelief of family and friends.

Quote: "Be patient and gracious with the skeptics in your life. We shouldn’t assume their outward confidence accurately reflects their inward condition. Keep praying for them and share what seems helpful. Keep confidently and humbly following Jesus. And trust his timing. He knows best how and when to reveal himself to them."

Praise God for the work He is doing in the hearts of those He loves! This was a great reminder for me that - all of the sometimes gut-wrenching, yet exhilarating heartwork - He has and is doing in me... of course He is doing for others! And the best thing I can do (besides share the Gospel) is to pray that He does that for those that I love.
