Resting in Jesus

A few months back, I was climbing this beautiful trail at a nearby nature park. The particular trail I chose was a steep, rocky path with minimal rest stops. In the middle of me trudging along, tripping over hidden rocks and thick tree roots, I began to think: When we go through life, isn’t it…
