The Sting of Death Cuts Deep

The sting of death cuts deep.

However, not nearly as deep as her family will experience.

Tonight a young girl lost her life in a car crash.

It's in moments like this when I go to the Lord in prayer and I can't think of the words to say...

"God please uplift her family, be with them, comfort them, love on them, let them know you're near."

But not even this covers what this family needs at the present moment.

It is now when I reminded that God is God and I don't have to instruct Him in what to do.

He knows precisely what to do. He knows everything that needs to be done and He is doing it.

It is now when I am reminded of what is important. Not the two hour infuriating meeting I just sat through at work, but every single moment spent with the people I love. Every laugh, every tear, every conversation.

It is now that I remember what is most important, letting the world know that Jesus loves them. That He has conquered death. That He has promised to be with us. That He promises us healing. He promises us Heaven. He promises us unconditional love. He does not condemn, He simply loves everyone. His arms are open wide and He is ready to accept anyone and everyone.

We need to take every moment and live it. Take it in. Realize the beauty of life. We are here for a short time. We have a purpose, to let His light shine. Let us bring it to the masses. Change lives. Revive souls.

Lord, it is solely in you that I find strength.

You, Oh Lord, are eternal.
