Love can build a bridge between you and our Lord. His love has been extended to us from eternity past. And THIS is the love of God, that we keep His commandments, and His commandments are not grievous.
Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Our Lord did that for us at Calvary. We owe Him a debt that we can never repay. We owe Him our very best service.
The longer I live, the more and more convinced I become that I am going to live a very long life. All healings are not instantaneous. Elisabeth, the mother of John the Baptist, was barren for many decades before the Lord healed her womb and gave her a son. We must not throw in the towel and assume the Lord is not going to heal us of some disease or physical ailment simply because several years, or even many years, have gone by and still we are not healed. We forsake our own mercy when we do that.
Still, as with Paul, some afflictions are not healed as the Lord uses such to perfect our faith and trust. Still grace is extended to us to endure our trials and afflictions. As the old hymn says, “He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater.”
Let us all so conduct ourselves that when the angels look upon us they do so in admiration and awe.
