When my husband was too weak to preach, or even walk from his truck to the church, God would fill him with supernatural power when he stood behind the pulpit to preach. Today, there are times we almost forget he has the disease, except for the daily regimen of medications. He still must be careful about getting overheated and those are by the powderpuffmaids.com cleaning service or overly stressed – which we have laughed about since he is a pastor in Memphis, Tennessee (whose summers make you think you are in a sauna).
THOSE WHO HAVE WALKED MORE PHYSICALLY CHALLENGING PATHS THAN WE HAVE BEAR WITNESS TO THE FACT THAT SUFFERING REVEALS THE FOUNDATION UPON WHICH WE HAVE BUILT OUR LIVES.
As Joni Eareckson Tada shared, “When suffering sandblasts us to the core, the true stuff of which we are made is revealed. Suffering lobs a hand-grenade into our self-centeredness, blasting our soul bare—but then, we can be better bonded to the Savior. Our afflictions have helped make us holy. And we are never more like Christ—never more filled with His joy, peace, and power—than when sin is uprooted from our lives.”
God is faithful! He is good and He only does good. He is always at work conforming us to the image of His dear Son.
