Ian and Larissa

 

We are inundated with news everyday that is discouraging, even downright depressing. As Christians we believe in our heads that God is Sovereign, that "light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it" (John 1:5), that the gospel of Jesus redeems and transforms lives. But when the news continues to bombard us, we sometimes forget. Testimonies of God at work encourage our hearts and fuel our hope. Here is #5 in the series.

I "met" Ian and Larissa a year ago, through the video that Desiring God Ministries made about them. This beautiful couple paints a picture of marriage we don't often see, one that gives us a glimpse of the mystery mentioned in Ephesians 5:32. Their story baffles and encourages me. It's beautiful.
