Sometimes we get OVERWHELMED the other way. Sometimes the weight of life is simply crushing…….it is too much for the soul to bear……
Psalm 34 18The LORD is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
I could not stop crying when my father got sick. Over the course of many years I saw him deteriorate to the point where he lost his ability to think, to walk, to process, to even swallow.
Alzheimer’s is tough to deal with……..
On his deathbed, I read scripture over my dad as he breathed in his last gasps…..he opened his eyes and looked at all of us and then gazed up at the ceiling in our family room…..it was as if he saw something “beyond”…..I believe that he saw into the spiritual realm before he passed into it.
It was not until a couple of months later, in church, that I found peace…..as we stood in worship I had a picture of my dad—young, vibrant, full of life, and HAPPY……From that moment on……the Lord removed the sting and allowed me to remember him with peace—as if the Lord was saying: “I got him”.
For those of us who endure pain and suffering I pray this day for peace over you…over your situation…..over your life. I even offer for you to reach out on this blog that we might all cry out on your behalf for all that hurts…….
Peace, hope, and love to all of you in the mighty Name of Jesus.
In The Name of the Father and the Son
and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
