Reading this am for my devotion from Max Lucado...whom I just love to read...he has such a way of giving the most wonderful pictures of our Lord in words, and using Gods word as proof of what Max wants to tell us. Today I read about how Jesus raised Jairus' daughter from the dead. He points out beautifully that even in death we do not lose someone...death is simply a transition, from earth to heaven. I have a good friend in KY, Beth Wetzel, who used to tell us how this was true, she lost her mom at a very early age, but as a believer in Christ, she knew her mom was in Heaven and she would be reunited with her one day. Thank you, Beth, for also being such a wonderful teacher in my life and thank you, Jairus, for asking Jesus to help your family.
We can all ask Jesus to help our families, no matter the situation, He loves our children more than we do (I know that is hard to understand how someone could love our children more than we do...but Jesus does.) He may not give us the answer we want all the time....but He does hear our requests and pleas....and all we have to do is talk to Him....
"Don't be afraid, Just believe, and your daughter will be well." Luke 8:50 NCV
11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11
