In this paper we shall see how a sick dying man could keep his faith in times
when some people may give it up. Arthur had a few problems in life. These
included renal problems due to a low sacral spina bifida and two hearts
attacks plus heart surgery. His wife Jeanette will say, "How can your faith
stand under this pain?"
Arthur never blamed God for his troubles. As he grew closer in his
relationship with God his faith helped him cope. When he was diagnose
with terminal cancer of the liver he was told he only had a short time to live.
He faced this with the same faith and courage that God have given him and
he was able to give others the benefit of the wisdom God had given him to
continue in their faith and using their gifts to serve God. Arthur's faith was
made stronger because of his suffering. Arthur believed that God used his
suffering to make his faith stronger and in turn to help others in their
suffering.
Suffering doesn't make us perfect - we need forgiveness for daily sins, but
repentance brings us closer to God.
If you have a terminal sickness and are thinking about Euthanasia, please
ask God to show you that there still is a life worth living.
To speak to Jeanette, email me and I shall pass on the message.
