Life Is Precious

Published on 3 June 2024 at 10:44

Good morning,

Psalms 116:15
[15]Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.

Each of us have a predestined day that we will be called home. We aren't promised tomorrow. Knowing that, we should live each day serving God like it's our last.

I have a passion for hospice and end of life. I want to pray with and comfort those who are getting close to going home. I also feel a pull to comfort the families as well. This time in a person's and their family's life can be a very difficult one.

We often think of serving God as reaching the lost and living. This is something we need to do. However, it's not the only service a Christian can provide.

1 Timothy 5:3

[3]Honour widows that are widows indeed.

Exodus 22:22

[22]Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.

Psalms 34:18

[18]The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

Matthew 11:28

[28]Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

1 Corinthians 2:5

That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

Ecclesiastes 4:10

[10]For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.

We are called as His children to be there for each other and lift one another up. We need to encourage, pray with and share scripture with each other. When one of us is down, we need to take that person to the cross. We all will have times of need and sorrow in our life. How much easier are those times to bear when we have the love of a fellow Christians?

If you're feeling alone and don't have others to help hold you up, fear not because God Himself will hold you up! I'm here to pray for you. Don't go through it alone.

John 17:1-26[1]These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:[2]As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.[3]And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.[4]I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.[5]And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.[6]I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.[7]Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.[8]For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.[9]I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.[10]And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.[11]And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.[12]While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.[13]And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.[14]I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.[15]I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.[16]They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.[17]Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.[18]As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.[19]And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.[20]Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;[21]That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.[22]And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:[23]I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.[24]Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.[25]O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.[26]And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
