The Same

Last night in America, there was a memorial service for a dear friend of mine at my church. He was an example to so many of us. I will always be thankful for the encouraging, wise words he shared with us week in and week out. It was always such a blessing for a young, inexperienced girl stuck in the college world to hear words of encouragement and teaching from a man who had lived through storms and joy in his life. He always took the time to ask how I was doing, what I was up to, and remind me that the Lord is indeed in control. It was really hard to hear of his passing via email in Spain. But I rest confident in the fact that he is now filled with joy in seeing the true sight of our glorious Lord in place of the former dim reflections of this earth. I’m praying that the Lord will surround his family and friends with the peace of His presence, and I am grateful that our God is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
