Together we share in the sufferings of Christ with the knowledge that the suffering cannot compare to the glory to be revealed. Not a day goes by I am not with you all, several times a day in prayer, in heart, in pain and in confidence. His love is perfect, pure and trustworthy.

Our (sinful) instinct is to look ahead, but as your example makes so clear, if we look ahead of the light that's not any further then one step ahead, we fall into holes and get hurt. Thank you for reminding us (all of us, whether we know it's dark or not)that Jesus doesn't want us to run in the dark. He wants us to ask for the next step, look at the next step, take the next step, and <B>that's it.</B> You're right. This is exactly how He wants all of us to live, all the time, for the rest of our lives. If we could just get it! How much greater our peace and rest would be. Thank you, Steve, for sharing with us as you learn. I'm sure that, one day, you'll see, and be stunned by the amount and quality of fruit that your faithful sharing produces in lives that you never knew.<BR/><BR/>kristiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35753836.post-70655521288803399022007-03-30T23:21:00.000-04:002007-03-30T23:21:00.000-04:00I love how you always end with "thanks for praying...I love how you always end with "thanks for praying" or "pray for Ian". you will say something that seems totally unrelated to prayer, but mostly end with that. like your heart is still, after a long trial, firm in faith and love for your son. it always blesses me to read what you say and then to hear you say...pray for my son. i can only imagin how it would bless Ian to see his father care so much for him and want so much for all to remain faithful to pray for him. thank you for being an example of not growing weary. it inspires me to keep praying - and i will!<BR/>-rebekahTransitions and Trendshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11246300823671460340noreply@blogger.com
