A dear friend lost her husband. He had suffered long and hard for many years and the watching of the pain and torment has ended. His face told of the long awaited peace.
I return home after the funeral and my mind turned it over and over.
The scent of Jesus lay thick and heavy as I entered the room where her husband lay. And as each visitor approached her, Jesus oozed out of her, spilling out onto the ones who came to comfort her, but instead were filled with His presence and blessings.
Her words landed on their ears as a sweet sacrifice to her Lord, assuring them that her strength was in the Lord and she knew she was in His hands.
And through the pain and the tears of her loss, His joy radiated out of her like a blinding light for all to see. Her Lord was glorified here.
She knew that God’s perfect healing was now upon him as she said a final good by to her beloved of 45 years.
The Lord will guide you continually, watering your life when you are dry and keeping you healthy too. You will be like a well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring. Is 58:11
