1. A girl crushed after her boyfriend broke up with her, inspite of the promise ring he gave her.
2. A 14 yr old and his family who continue to grieve losing their teenage brother/son/friend 10 months ago.
3. A precious saint who was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer and given 2 weeks to 3 months to live.
4. A couple who found out their unborn baby has a 50/50 chance of being born with a disease.
5. A couple who lost their co-joined, unborn twins.
6. My mother (who is in remission from cancer) has been undergoing tests for pain and hearing loss.
7. A friend who just went through a divorce.
8. I just had my car broken into and MacBook Pro stolen
All of these situations mentioned are being experienced by brothers and sisters in Christ. With the weightiness of them all, I'm remined of the following scripture:
1 Corinthians 15:19 (ESV)
19If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied.
Where is your hope? If you are banking on this life...it's guaranteed to go bad (read the above situations again)! Don't pursue a pitiful hope...look to our eternal God who had given us an eternal inheritance that will not fade away!
