"What a privileage to be with a man as he steps into glory."
Those were the words of Tim a little while ago. He was called up to the hospital this morning by our old neighbor. Frank was in the hospital. Yesterday Tim and I spent a good while at their home praying with Frank and Barb. Sharing the love of Jesus with them in his last days. Assuring them of Jesus incredible love for them - sharing the glory and splendor of heaven. It was laid on Barb's heart to call Tim this morning - Frank loved Tim. So off he went to the hospital - he was struggling breathing, yet not at complete peace yet. Tim shared the amazing love of Jesus for him, the assurance of heaven. But Frank was concerned about his family - his wife. Tim shared with him the comfort of Jesus - that Jesus will take care of his bride and his family that he can rest at peace knowing that Jesus will take care of them - it was after this that he came to peace. With Tim by his side he breathed his last breaths.
He stayed at the hospital for a while longer, waiting for the family to arrive. (he was the only one there) In addition to the beauty of heaven for Frank was the wonderful opportunity Tim had to share Jesus with his grown son. He talked with Tim and said "I don't really know Jesus." Conversation went from there.
Let God use you wherever he places you. I don't know if our life will ever "settle". Less and less do I want to settle. I don't mean that I don't want to settle somewhere in a home or a place, but I don't ever want to settle in my faith walk. I don't ever want to think that I have arrived. I want to always grow - I want to be challenged in my faith walk - I never want to just be ok with "it's good enough" in my faith. That is when we become complacant. Life is so short, we are here on this earth for but a blink of the eye - I don't want to get to the end of my life and....well...watch this clip.
I want to be God's olympian. I want to keep running this life here for Him. I want to blog - for him - I want to be convicted in my life - for him - I want to...well...everything - FOR JESUS! It brings tears to my eyes as I think about the passionate love that he has for me and how so often I fail him. He just keeps loving me. Every step I take I take in you, you make me move Jesus!
LET'S RUN EVERYONE - FOR JESUS! DON'T QUIT! DON'T QUIT WHEN IT GETS HARD! JUST KEEP RUNNING!
