Yesterday, a dear friend succumbed to Leukemia and went to sleep in Jesus. All who knew her are heartbroken at the loss.
Today I have spent much time thinking about Judy, smiling over some of her sayings, remembering the fun times we spent together and praying for her husband and adult children. I have also been thinking about what her husband said yesterday afternoon when we met with him for prayer and support. When they recognized that they had very little time left together, he wanted to know if she had any fears or worries or if she was resting in the assurance of God's love and salvation. He needed to know. He asked her if she was ready. Her answer to him was "No problem". She had wrestled and worked it out with the Lord. She had her time of trouble, and she came through with peace. There were no problems between her and the Lord. I want to reach that point. I want to be able to say, "No problem". So today, as I pray for the family, I pray for myself. I want to rest in God's love and salvation no matter what He allows to come my way. How about you? Can you say, "No problem"?
Was actually thinking about this about 20 minutes ago.Am I really ready? I'd like to think I am but I feel as if my heart isn't right.Like there's something forgotten...And to think the time of trouble will involve much of this type of agonising.Oh boy. Sorry about the loss of your friend.:(
