talking about helping, I was moved to tears this morn. There is this radio station where J Dobson has interviews, he put on an interview with this friend of his, Rev. Hutcherson, an ex football prayer who now preaches and has a church. His greatest fear was cancer, he'd pray not to get it... and sure enough this year he was diagnosed with it. Long story short, he is in pain, his negative cell counts are horribly high and he actually should be dead right now, but isn't, that it had molded him and has been a turning point.
He said how he felt honored to suffer for the Lord, how his pain and the Lord working in him have turned him into the greatest testimony for anyone who meets him, specially at the hospital, they cannot believe how well he is. He said how there is no such thing as a bad circumstance, that each thing that happen to us shapes us to be like Jesus. There are things that happen to us that we dont' want nor choose, but that all things will work for the good. And if it leads to to Jesus, how can it be bad? That he wasn't afraid of dying, that it'd be an honor to die for Jesus. please check it out: http://listen.family.org/daily/A000001976.cfm
