Who is Jesus for you?
How is faithfulness written on his face?
Might he impossibly be the very image of the God whose disturbing faithfulness to us looks like incarnation?
Could it be that he came not to wave the magic wand and make the cancer go away,
but to enter into our sufferings?
Could it possibly be true that the best show of faithfulness is not the healing or the unexpected check,
but the unthinkable truth that God has chosen to be with us through it all?
Could it be that the greatest miracle is not provision,
but presence?
"...and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen."
~ Matthew 28:20b
