Death and Relations Can be Painful

I am Still Here

WOW! What a yesterday! I had a great big, busy day. Meetings. Meetings. Meetings.

This morning I awoke to a wonderful and glorious day. A surprise. A friend had dropped by and brought me a little piece of change and a hot breakfast. Smiles all over my face. We sat and talked, and just remembered how much we love each other. She is my sister from another mother, and I love her dearly. As we talked, she said, after all I've been through, I am STILL here. That got me to thinking.

I am still here. Through trials, tribulations, hurt, pain, suffering, and a host of other things, "I am still here." What a testimony. Sometimes, we take our lives for granted. We just get up and go. Years go by with no thought and no effort. We pay the rent. We go to work. We eat. We sleep. We exist, but do we ever look back and marvel as to why we are still here?

Food for thought. Why are you still here? Did you make it through an impossible time in your life? Are you on the brink of disaster and wondering how you will make it? What is keeping you here?

My testimony today is that I am still here because of the grace and mercy of God! Let me just tell you my story for a minute. I don't know how to keep me. I don't know how to heal me. I don't know where my next meal is coming from or if I will be able to eat and enjoy it. What I do know is that no matter what, God will sustain me. He will provide for me, and He will direct my going out and my coming in. May He do the same for you, and that your song tomorrow will be THANK GOD, I AM STILL HERE!

Proverbs 3:6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths.
