My grandpa (Papa) passed away Monday, one year ago. This time of year is very hard without him. I've been thinking back on our time together, up through the last week of his life when we received the report that he had liver cancer. Throughout my life, he was an incredible example of a man after God's heart. He used to read and pray for hours every night seeking after His Creator.
I wish that I had the fervor he did. He never gave up on his faith, even when everything seemed to be screaming, "RUN AWAY! He (God) may say He is good, but He isn't!" Circumstances did not affect his love for Christ. I know that is something I struggle with. I am so thankful to have had his life as an example for me. He gave me a tangible picture of what it means to live your life for Christ.
I am still hopeful that I will be able to reach that point in my faith and walk with the Lord. It can be so easy to turn my back on Christ and walk away from His truth. The good news is, He never turns his back on me. His love stays strong and His Word stays true.
