What joy we have in the Lord, when there is such hurt and pain in this life. May our hope be found in him. May God be with this brother, and those hidden away who have no family as this may there hope grow strong as there eys are rested on Christ alone.
I was reading on of my father s letter when he had cancer thought I would share with you all..
Heaven Awaits May 15 2006
Praise be to God, for each day we draw closer to victory. Eternity is forever, and soon the cares of this world will behind us. One night as I lay in bed, my body sick from this ugly cancer, I spilled away, their I was, standing in front of God, I awoke and yelled out, there is a God. I was indeed shaken, was it a dream, was it a vison, was it Jesus. What I saw I can not even began to understand, but yet my sprit rejoices. Some thing inside of my heart tells me that there is a holy city, a new Jerusalem, and that the promises of God are true. John says, I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. And he heard a loud voice from the thorn saying, Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death, or morning, or crying, or pain, for the old Order of things has passed away. God said that I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. He that over comes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he we be my son. Rev 21:1-7. So my dear brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus hold on to what your heart knows that is true. Worry yourself not about understanding the false teachings of the DaVinci code, but remember the truth that lives in your heart, for that is code that will surly brings eternal life. Jesus said, that in my fathers house are many rooms, if were not so I would not told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. Are savior is personally preparing a place for us in glory. John 14:1-4.
Do not let the cares of this life separate you from the love of God, but rejoice for soon and very soon, were going to see our King. I tell you that there is a home for the righteousness, and if we keep his promises close to our hearts, we will all see that new heaven and new earth. I pray that you lift your self up this day, and encourage one another, because we shall be in paradise with God.
Living with this sickness has been very difficult and I find that my body grows weaker, and I appear to be tried & frail. But I declare to all of you, that my sprit draws closer to my living God each and every day. My strength is not of my self, but comes the God of our fathers, his words are true, his love is pure, and his glory will last forever. Dont let the cares or even the lies of this world keep you from, knowing and living the truth.
For us that will simply trust and believe in the death & resurrection of Jesus Christ our Savor, than to you...Heaven Awaits..
Your brother in Jesus...Clif Sharpe
