Rick --- a thousand times a day I wish I had access to technology that could cure things like cancer. I wish I could "fix" people, bodies and souls. There is so much pain in this world --- why do bad things happen to good people? I don't know the answer. I don't have the power to fix them. All I can understand, is that the world is still fallen,
and Jesus is still Lord.
There is a great conflict in my heart; I
long for the day when Jesus returns, and all our absent family and loved-ones will come back to us. Sorrows will be gone, sickness, suffering --- will be fading bad memories. We will serve the Creator, with joy. Songs will ring from our hearts, and every moment will be filled with happiness. This is our hope, and our confidence. It is our certainty.
And my heart wants Him to DELAY His return, that more people can come to know Him
before it's too late. WHY won't they believe? I can't make them believe in Him either. It seems that most often they must hit "bottom", before they can really look "up" and see Him.
If I could, I would repair your Mom. But the best I can do, is to pray for you, and to try to comfort you. In this fallen world,
no one avoids death. Yet our reality, is Jesus;
so prayer is acceptible. He will return, and we all will be "fixed". So I pray for you, and for your family; that all will grow close to Him,
looking for the day when He returns and everything will be healed. I pray for a safe journey for you; that no disaster befall you, that you will have quality time with your family.
That's the best I can do; and it's reality that I desire
to give you the best that I can.
God bless you and keep you and yours.
