she is pulling away
i get a call from her caseworker
and go to check
and she’s dressed for a party
but she opens the door for me
and her tears flow
we sit and read psalm 139
and i give her a hug
but i cannot make her choice.
in another world, a dear sweet one comes to Bible Study
even tho she is feeling old and weak
fighting the cancer within
and tomorrow she will learn what her options are.
and she is hanging on – to Christ’s every Word
and it works
and she is comforted.
i’ve been 20 years now at this Bible Study
this will be my 4th time through the Book of Matthew
i started out lost. 4 years of His words, i became His
so i know that it works.
whom the Son sets free, will be free indeed.
but it won’t work for some? it will seem like it isn’t working for some.
and what do i do with that?
keep going. just keep going.
because He has said:
oh Lord, our only hope is You.
Only You.
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
Hebrews 10:23
