Bible Note: Dear Brother Joe, My prayers are with you. I have been fighting this same question and pain since Dec.2002. My husband died unexpectedly of a massive heart attack. He was only 55. I'd been praying for him for 11 yrs but I thought that when he accepted Christ I would know and we would finally be able to share the Christian life together. I keep asking God for a sign that my husband is in His care. I've not received a sign. At least I can't yet see it because I'm still grieving and in a daze. But one thing I do know is that God can work instantly. Perhaps Jesus appeared to him at the last nonosecond and said "will you come and follow me?" and he answered "yes" and then Jesus led him home. Picture a dedicated fireman who keeps going back into a burning building until he gets the last person to safety. If he loses just 1 person he is heartbroken. If a human can feel this way, how much more so will Jesus keep trying until He gets the last one to safety? Brother Joe, I told God that I would nag him until I get an answer so even if I want to give up on asking, I can't because I gave God my word. Don't stop asking. He will give you an answer because it seems that an answer will be the only thing that will comfort you. He wants so to comfort us. Ask Him, trust and wait.....my prayers are with you.....Pixie |
