Reflection by Julie M.
Julie has suffered intense pain while fighting cancer for more than 15 years. One of the challenges she’s faced is a nearly-complete inability to sleep.
We look to Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith… and by suffering well in sickness or disease or prosperity or poverty or hardship or pain, we are able to bring comfort to others who are tested…
How is it possible to remember God when suffering extreme physical pain? By drawing near and staying close to him.
Speak to him. Call on him. He understands our deep suffering, our frustration, what we are going through and what we are feeling.
His heart is intimate toward us. He welcomes us at all times in his presence. He will speak of himself, of his Son, of the Holy Spirit. He speaks to us in our places of suffering and restoration continues.
Tonight the evening shadows display their glory. It appears to me another day of suffering will soon be over.
