Through the difficult night as I labored to sleep the message, “draw neigh unto Me and I will draw neigh unto you,” kept coming. In the most difficult times, when we ask why, we are invited to draw close to God and He will draw close to us, and comfort and love us. In the deep mysteries of life I’m often tempted to question why. The faith that was strong to believe, “that all things work for the good of them that love the lord,” was shaken as another mystery presents itself, I am once again left to believe what my faith has prepared me for.
Oh, that I could find something to comfort in such a time as this. There is only One that can truly do that. Jesus himself said, “In this world you will have trouble and trials, but believe in Me for I have overcome the world.” My faith, and all who believe, will someday claim victory. Until that day I must face what the day brings with confidence in my Lord and cling to Him for the strength to carry us through. As our Countryside family mourns the loss of this precious child; may God, who cares for him now, bring assurance to our hearts.
In His service,
Bill
