our life here on earth is never permanent...we're just hear to live temporarily...our life have been all planned even before we were born...God planned the date of our birth and the date when we leave this place...everything is planned and it works according to God's own will...God placed us in a family where we fit best...In a community where we can be a good neighbor to our neighbors...In a city where we can serve Him and spread out His word to His people...In a country where we can be the one to lead His people in a righteous way...Everything was planned by God according to His own purpose and will...He even brought us close to each other to make us an outlet of His love to one another...He let us borrow each other's presence, company, care and love...And it pays to always remember that someday, sometime, God will take us back home to His presence...As what we are always told, we are just visitors here on earth...Our permanent home is in heaven, where there is peace, joy, and love from God...A place where we can praise and worship Him for eternity...
Just tonight (July 11, 2009), i went to the hospital (CUMC) to visit a friend of mine...He was in a critical condition for days...And they said that his condition became even worse because they found another (worst) complication in him...When i was in the hospital, with some other people who are my friends (more than friends cause we're like a "family", church family), he was in bed lying with a respirator...i stayed there chit-chatting with my church family, telling them stories about my cousins in Vietnam...We had fun talking with each other...Keeping each other's company and finding comfort from each other during this time of suffering and life struggle of our dear friend...His family was there..They stayed with him since the first day he got sick...He was prayed over and friends who knew him kept on praying for him...Asking for healing, provision, comfort, and the will of God...And just also tonight, God took him home with Him...It brings pain to us because his presence and company we will not see anymore until God takes home all His children with Him too...We know God loves him very much and He has plans for him and his family...As He said in His words, "For I know the plans I have for you...Plans to prosper you and not to harm you...Plans to give you hope and a future..." Also He said, "Everything works together for good to those who love the Lord.." In this time, God is our only source of comfort...
