Transformation through God's Word

Last week we discovered Stacie has another tumor in her brain. It is small, yet it is discouraging. The expectation had been set that it would probably come back but not during treatment. I am brought back to the reality of the shortness of life here on earth. We often try to comfort those who are suffering the loss of a loved one by telling them they’ll see them again some day (if they are a believer). We really don’t have much evidence of this in the bible. We have assurance of our eternal relationship to God. Many conservative theologians believe that we’ll not be married to our mates in heaven as we’ll be wed to Christ. There is some sadness that comes from this if you have your soul mate on this side of heaven. My parents did and I know my mother misses my father tremendously. I have my soul mate and I don’t know how I would get along without her. That said I have no guarantee that I’ll live another day. None of us do. I am not trying to sound gloom and doom. I am simply talking about the reality of where we are. So, what’s the point of this writing? My purpose today is to tell you to discover that which God has for you to do here and pursue that with everything within you. If you are a believer and if you do, you WILL be fulfilled. If you do, you WILL be satisfied. If you do, you WILL still experience disappointment, trial, pain, sufferings. If you do, God WILL bring you through those terrible moments of life.

I’ll close with the words I am drawn to by Mercy Me’s ‘Keep Singing’:
Another rainy day
I can't recall having sunshine on my face
All I feel is painAll I wanna do is walk out of this place
But when I am stuck and I can't move
When I don't know what I should do
When I wonder if I'll ever make it through

I gotta keep singing
I gotta keep praising Your name
Your the one that's keeping my heart beating
I gotta keep singinggotta keep praising Your name
That's the only way that I'll find healing

Can I climb up in Your lap
I don't wanna leave
Jesus sing over me
I gotta keep singing

Can I climb up in Your lap
I don't wanna leave
Jesus sing over me
I gotta keep singing

Oh You're everything I need
And I gotta keep singing
