There is a big difference in the view of life that my sister and I have. I know that life is finite, that I am just passing through and I have the hope of eternity with the Lord. My sister, on the other hand, believes that this life is all there is and is in a state of constant despair because of her failing eyesight and health. She tells anyone who will listen that she is frail. She is correct; we are all weak and need a strong God on our side. She doesn’t like to hear about the freedom that comes with belief in God and the salvation of His Son Jesus. I am still praying that the Bible stories we heard as a child and the truths I have told her over the years will open her heart to hear and believe. It seems impossible, but God is the Creator of the impossible and will do what only He can do. Meanwhile, our differences in philosophy mean that I can get sick and not lose hope, knowing that this life is temporary and a better life awaits me. Do I enjoy the tests and multiple medical visits? No, of course not. But I see them as a part of this life that I am enduring with patience until I can once again be with the Lord who created me. I hope you will join me in prayer that my sister will have that hope one day soon. The love of God in my heart changes my entire perspective and I want that for her.
