Oh So Many Questions.....

"Mom, I want to be baptized!" Titus, you have been asking us about this for months. I think it started a year ago when you were in the bath and starting crying over the fear of leaving us, the fear of not knowing God and going to hell. Over the year, I have begun to see your heart mature and grow.... you have embraced the beauty of forgiveness as you not only ask for it when you have done something hurtful or wrong but you extend forgiveness. I have begun to see you wrestle with so many good questions about our God. I have seen you share your faith with those who don't know Jesus. This year especially, you have had many questions about the beliefs of your dear Jewish friend, Avraham. You have shed tears for homeless, the orphans and have pleaded for us to look into adoption. Son, you are growing in so many ways.... As we pray about baptism and the perfect timing amongst your close friends, I will trust with you that God will reveal that to your daddy, you and myself.

Your latest questions:
Where is Jesus' physical body after he went to heaven to sit with God? How long was He on earth before he joined God in heaven? What is hell like, it must be really lonely! When God comes again to make the earth new, will people become Christians?

It has been wonderful to converse about these things Titus and look through the bible for the answers. "Hide these words in your heart son, so that you may not sin against them!" I pray Titus as you grow each day that you will Hide God's truths in your heart.
