We all have heroes that we look up to, but what happens when our heroes fall from illness, disappointment, or even death? One of the toughest things I’ve faced was watching my daddy go through major open-heart surgery. To see the man I always turned to for help so weak and ill broke my heart. I lost my greatest hero, my granny seven years ago. She definitely took a piece of my heart with her to heaven. It’s been tough to go into this season of becoming a grandmother without her, but the great thing about heroes is they teach us so many things. I was able to look back on her life as an example of what kind of grandmother I wanted to be.

The toughest fall is when our heroes disappoint us. Either by making bad choices, breaking a promise, and other situations that diminishes their impact. We have to remember no one is perfect, but they can be forgiven. Grace is the greatest gift God gave us when His Son died on the cross and that same gift of grace is what we can extend to our heroes.

Our ultimate hero, however, should be Jesus. He came to this earth solely to serve and to sacrifice His life on the cross to save us from death and hell. If you haven’t met this ultimate hero through the gift of salvation, please reply to this email and we would love to introduce you.

Heavenly Father, thank You for providing the greatest hero ever, Your Son. May He be the hero we turn to when our earthly heroes have fallen. Give those that haven’t met Him the courage to reach out and seek the gift of salvation.

For His Glory,
