Session 8 - Email

Coming out of study this past Monday I received a call from a friend who saw the posting listed below on Facebook an hour earlier.

"hi gang I assume some of you but not all of you will get this. This is my last post. I want everyone to know that I will always love my wife with all my heart (she still gives me butterflies when I see her) and I care for everyone on my friend's list in one way or another. I am sorry if I ever was anything less than a friend to you. See you on the other side. Jesus loves you."

My heart broke. This had been posted by a wonderful friend of ours which we had the opportunity to share life together in a home team and whom had moved out of state a couple of years back. I called his number - voice mail., I called his wife - talked with her told her to let him know we love him, we want the best for him and didn't want him to do what he said he was going to do. In the meantime, calling the sheriffs office and had them dispatched to the last address that we were aware of for him. But, most importantly called prayer warriors to be in intercession for him. I am grateful to report that he's ALIVE!! Thank you Lord!

Which brings me to Day 2 of homework this week, talking about a couple of ways God prunes us. One of which is various trials. We all go through trials throughout our life. The purpose is to prove and increase our strength and quality of our faith and demonstrate it's validity. We have the choice to either pass or fail the test. God says he doesn't test us above what we are able to handle. If we choose not to trust and lean on Christ, it gives Satan a wide open door to turn that test into a temptation. A temptation to believe our situation is hopeless which can lead down the road to what our friend felt on Monday night.

God tells us to ask for wisdom - wisdom that is from above to enable us to understand and gives us the practical ability/skill that is necessary to live a life for God's glory. Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might! I pray that whatever our situation or circumstance is a the present time that we don't feel the hopelessness that would bring about such dispair and distress.

2 Cor 12: 9 - And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore, most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me! Because of this, I take pleasure in my infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, than I am strong.

Mark on your calendar's March 15th for our Celebration Dinner! This will be a potluck - I know in the past we have had the wonderful delight of tasting some amazing foods and I don't doubt it will be the same. I'll have a sign up sheet next Monday at class.

God bless you in your study this week! I'm praying for all of you, that you will grow in grace and the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ!
