22 Be merciful to those who doubt; – Jude 22
While sitting in prison, John the Baptist wondered whether Jesus actually was the promised Messiah. While walking on the water, Peter takes his eyes off of Jesus and begins to sink in the midst of a storm. Jesus hangs from the cross and says, “My God why have You forsaken me.” There are times in our lives when doubt about God creeps into our minds. We wonder if God is with us. We wonder of God hears us. We wonder if God cares. James who endured suffering knows what times of trial can do, so he writes, be merciful to those who doubt. When we doubt, God gathers us in His arms, and holds us close to His heart assuring us that we are loved. This is the mercy of God, and over time it replaces our doubts with a deep assurance that no matter the external circumstance, Jesus is with us. Always.
Sincerely,
Pastor Ric

“What Matters Most”
Dear West Hartford Church Family Members:
On a rainy 21 May in 1988 at 12:00 Noon, my eyes filled with tears of the greatest joy when I saw my beautiful wife-to-be, Lisa Cordes at the back of the sanctuary in a beautiful wedding gown with her Dad standing proudly next to her. The service that began with Lisa and her wonderful Father walking up the church aisle ended with Lisa and I walking down that same aisle and out the doors to begin a wonderful life together as husband and wife.
