"From that time Jesus Christ began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and sufer amany things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, AND BE RAISED ON THE THIRD DAY. (Matthew 16:21)
Jesus knew it. He was going to die. He came from heaven's glory where there is no tear, no sadness, no pain, no death. And He can to earth where there is tear, sadness,pain death. We wish to leave this place of pain and Jesus obeyed His Father by coming down into the place, and died for us. What person in his right mind would do that?
I am dying also. Doctor gave me 3 months. I wonder if I will make it that long. I would like to go today.
Monday was my strongest day in a very long time. After monday it has been my weakest days ever. I am mostly lying down. I am exhausted and extremely tired.
That's it for now.
Thanks for praying. Please keep on.
God still reigns.
I know how much effort it took you to write this...but yet I am encouraged that you did. It is like you and I talked about...you still have lives to touch.

Hi Chuck, It's Amber Eidse. A few days ago I heard you had a blog, so I looked it up. I have spent some time in the last couple of days reading your posts. I wanted to tell you that your writings have inspired me to thirst for Jesus in a new way. He has given each one of us life, and we need to be constantly serving Him, loving Him and giving thanks to Him for what He has done for us.
ReplyDeleteI'm also reminded of the song by Andrew Peterson that says:
"Give us faith to be strong
Give us strength to be faithful
This life is not long, but it's hard
Give us grace to go on
Make us willing and able
Lord, give us faith to be strong"
This world is not our home...and really, thank goodness for that. It's full of hurt, pain, suffering and so much more. We have lots to look forward to if we have Jesus on our side :) Blessings to you & Julia today...you are in my prayers.
Thanks for your response Amber. I am glad the Holy Spirit can use my experience to touch you. Keep walking with Jesus, Amber. Thanks especially for the song. Wonderful. Very applicable to my life.
ReplyDeleteThanks Curt. Yep, we battle on. It's a goal line stance and my defence is holding them back. Thanks man.
