The knowledge of Scripture that I have gleaned from my classes at Bible school is priceless. I have never felt so sure in my faith in Christ and my beliefs, but at times, I still question His work and role in my life. Is Christ working, or am I just seeking after nothing? I have found myself feeling helpless and broken because I have felt as though Christ is just a distant friend. I know that I have faith in Him and His grace, so what could possibly be missing?

This frustration sat with me until I realized that Christ is at work, even if I don’t see it. Through His Word, He finds me and shows me Himself. Christ’s joy, love, and endless grace may have gone unseen, but looking back, I can see His evident work. That is the beauty of having a relationship with Christ. Although I might not see Him or feel Him, I know He is holding me up. He is the one keeping my head above water amid the deepest struggles. I look back at my life and see something I didn’t see in real time: Jesus holding me afloat. He was there, and He will continually work to guide me through every step of life.

If I ever doubt His never-ending work in my life, I can rest assured that Christ is working. His love and mercy are boundless and outside of anything I will ever understand. When I put my trust in Christ and His plan for my life, I know that He will act in His time and in His own way.
