Ultimate Healing

 “For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all” (2 Corinthians 4:17, NIV).

This verse rings true so much. Right now one of my dearest friends lost her battle to cancer even though we prayed hard and knew God could heal her. Why didn’t He? 

Basically my friend is way better off than we are as she is walking and leaping and praising God. Why is it we yearn to stay here just one more day, week, or year when ultimately Heaven is our reward and a mansion awaits us when our last breath is breathed? 

So many things take us by surprise and some are harder to understand than others but ultimately God’s plan will prevail. 

PRAYER: Father I thank you for each and every day of life and each opportunity to share your hope and love with others. Help me not fear the future. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
