Hebrews 13:20-21 May the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever, Amen.
I can`t imagine anything more pleasing to God, than his precious children using the gifts, that he has given them to glorify him. Today my friend Sandy, and I had a great phone conversation. To my dismay, she said that she was leaving the funeral of her friend Lil; I have prayed for Lil, many times in the past several months. Sandy lost her friend, to the dreaded disease, cancer. Through-out Lil`s illness, Sandy has remained a loving faithful friend, to the end.
Sandy is blessed with a beautiful voice, which she eagerly uses to sing praise to the LORD. Today she sang at Lil`s funeral, she was thankful that she made it through both, "In The Garden, " and "How Beautiful," with out her voice cracking. What a precious gift in honor of a beloved friend. Thank you, God!
Psalm 100:1-2 Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.
As we continued chatting, Sandy shared another of her gifts to Lil and her family. Shortly before Lil`s passing, Sandy had the privilege of singing the final songs her friend would hear, on this side of heaven. Holy Spirit goose bumps covered my body at the very thought of Sandy singing, "The Lord`s Prayer," "It is Well with My Soul," and "In The Garden," for her dying friend.
I can imagine the open arms of the celestial team of family and angels welcoming Lil, as she departed peacefully, wrapped tenderly in Sandy`s precious heart-felt serenade. You will suffer no more, Amen!
2 Corinthians 4:18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
