No matter our worldly status, every single person needs God exactly the same. The only thing of true importance that we could ever do is give God the worship that He is worthy of. 

Here at Insight for Living Canada, we are remembering the faithful and joyous life of our colleague, Terry Boyle, after his recent passing. Terry lived a remarkable life that was characterized by selfless service and a continued willingness to say “yes” to God.

In that single word rests a whole new world beckoning our participation. Death has been defeated. Newfound meaning and joy replace the minute-after-minute-after-minute monotony of ceaseless sweating and striving...all because God is now at hand!

I find it easy to have incredible grace for others when I understand their motives behind questionable actions. When I think I understand the whole story I can excuse poor behaviour, forgive debts, and look the other way.

Over the years, though, I've come to realize it's important to be honest with our children when they ask those hard questions that don't have straightforward answers.

In the words of Ephesians 4:32, be kind. My sister Luci paraphrases this verse, “Just be nice."

Complete knowledge doesn’t exist here on earth. I’m going to have to learn to live with unanswered questions and choose instead to act with grace and live in faith that one day I will know the whole story.
