15 Mar 05 Thinking of A Friend

Tonight I’m thinking of my friend Marc as he and his family struggle with the loss of his mother. Sunday night she lost her battle.

Many great things will be said about her, she was just that kind of person. One thing, maybe even the most important thing, to be said about her is that she believed and trusted in Jesus Christ. This means that also on Sunday night she gained her victory.

So, I’m thinking about my friend Marc, bringing him and his family before God.

I’m thinking of what else I can do to help my friend.

I’m thinking about my own fears – facing the reality of one day losing my own parents.

I’m thinking of the trials and troubles of this life.

I’m thinking of the pain and sadness we bear.

I’m thinking of the grief we carry and the tears we shed.

Mostly, tonight, I’m thinking of heaven.

“Now God’s presence is with people, and he will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them and will be their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death, sadness, crying, or pain, because all the old ways are gone.” (Revelation 21:3b-4 NCV)

Please, pray for my friend Marc today.

   My prayer for Marc is that the Holy Spirit the great comforter would comfort him and show him the larger meaning of this great loss for him.

   Thanks, Randy, for this. In looking through the log, I noticed this title and wondered. It was true. So many incredible examples of God’s love came through this experience. It was tough. The great thing is that she was still pressing on and, that my friend, is what it is all about!

   Marc.
