I looked up at the glorious night sky tonight and was filled with wonder as I took in the beauty of the moment. When I look up on nights like this I cant help but think of the one who created it all, Today my sister and closest friend has been gone for a year and the memories linger. Its so easy to focus on the pain and relive those moments in life but it shouldnt be this way. It should be a time of reflecting how God has worked in this situation and how his faithfulness has been made evident even in the darkest moments. Ive come to terms with her passing and accepted it as a part of life because it is, todays no different than it was yesterday because theres not a thing in the world I can do about it. When I step out and see how the heavens declare the Glory of God and how the skies proclaim the work of his hands (Psalm 19) I realize that the God that I worship and serve is bigger than the pain and unanswered questions in life. Because of his great love and compassion we live with the hope of being in heaven together one day. Because of this great hope I desire to serve him the rest of my life and lead a life that my sister would be proud of. I learned a lot this past year and have seen God do great things through me, this isnt the end at all, its only the beginning. Through death I found life, and in the darkness I found hope. Everything has a reason in life, and things happen that we dont understand. Since I have witnessed the miracle working Power of Jesus in my life theres no reason to focus on the negative, only more reason to look to the future with bright hope knowing that my Savior is always with me and isnt ignorant of mans condition and weakness. Remember my affliction and my wandering, the wormwood and bitterness. Surely my soul remembers And is bowed down within me. This I recall to my mind, Therefore I have hope. The Lord’s lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I have hope in Him.” The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, To the person who seeks Him. It is good that he waits silently For the salvation of the Lord. Lamentations 3:19-26 NASB
