Months, and she always wears a beautiful outfit and
A smile to match.
Not until today did she reveal that she is in
Constant pain.
Major surgeries haven't helped.
She's tried everything physically possible, and
Spiritually as well.
She's been prayed over and anointed but the
Anguish continues.
She's been told,
"God's refining you.
You're a powerful testimony,
God has a purpose and a plan."
But the pain is so great she sometimes prays,
"No more, Jesus. Please take me home."
He hasn't answered her prayer, and as I
Looked into her face this morning I was moved by
Her unspeakable courage, just making the
Effort to come.
I had no adequate words.
How could I possibly relate?
My friend saw my frustration and she actually
Consoled me.
"I still have hope," she said.
Yes, despite it all, she has hope.
For a believer, hope always trumps pain.
