“Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.’”
(Hebrews 13:5)
Author James O’Donnell knew sadness.? His wife Lizzie was diagnosed with terminal breast cancer and then heart failure.? She also was the mother of their three boys.
He said, “The thought that she might enjoy sitting at Jesus’ feet in heaven was, frankly, of little delight to either of us.? I deeply and dearly loved her.???
So what was it like during the daily battle to try to save her life?? Every day they were filled with joy!? Nothing taught them as much about the value of life as the reality that they might not have another tomorrow here on earth.? But holding onto life, amidst devastation, requires courage, love and a huge dose of God’s grace.
Friend, God promises to never leave you or forsake you, no matter where your journey takes you.
