Many of us feel at times that we are doomed to suffer as Job and that there is no hope of recovery. However, Jesus said that He came to heal the brokenhearted. Some of the hardest sorrow from which to recover is the loss of a companion but to heal you must “Go on With Your Calling.” In so doing you will leave grief behind and embrace that faith that pleases God and makes all things new.
I can say that I have experienced the true meaning of the scripture in Hebrews 11:6; “But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” It’s that ‘tried-in-the-fire’ kind of faith that God rewards.
To those who struggle through the reading of my suffering, I hope you will endure and find the joy of Brother Verity’s skillful counselling by “leaving grief behind and embracing faith.”
