A friend whose wife was going thru late stage breast cancer, created a blog for those of us who wanted to be involved in knowing how to help, or how to pray. He posted a quote one day, that was powerful enough to me personally, that I printed it out and taped it up to the cabinet that is front and center when I am slaving in the kitchen. It has been there for 18 months. And today, I reread it with a specific friend in mind.
"There is nothing - no circumstance, no trouble, no testing - that can ever touch me until first of all it has gone past God and past Christ, right thru to me. If it has come that far, it has come with a great purpose, which I may not understand at the moment. But as I refuse to become panicky, as I lift up my eyes to Him and accept it as coming from the throne of God for some great purpose of blessing to my own heart, no sorrow will ever disturb me, no trial will ever disarm me, no circumstance will cause me to fret - for I shall rest in the joy of what my Lord is yesterday, today and forever." - Alan Redpark
