“And now abide
                             FAITH, HOPE, LOVE
                   These three; the greatest of these is LOVE.”
                               1 Corinthians 13:13


            (The following narrative talks about faith, hope, and love. It
            is about the struggles and triumphs of my friend Wilma, who,
            in two and a half years, fought the good fight of faith. It is
            about the sacrifices and hope of her husband, Perry, who
            became the pillar of strength for the whole family during this
            challenging time. His love and devotion to his wife touched
            the  hearts  of  the  people  through  his  regular  updates  on
            social media. It is their love story during the most difficult
            season  of  their  life.  Through  his  heart-warming  account,
            you will see a glimpse of miracles, answered prayers, and
            the  sustaining  love  of  God.  The  excerpts  about  Wilma’s
            condition  were  written  by  Perry  and  were  used  in  the
            following  devotions.  In  the  end,  it  is  still  God’s  will  that
            prevailed. It was not the answer that we wanted. We may not
            understand  the  reasons  for  the  many  whys,  but  their  life
            story reminded us that His ways are higher than ours, and
            His thoughts are not ours. Ultimately, everything happens
            for His glory and for the greater good. We just have to trust
            the unconditional love of the Sovereign God. We must keep
            our  hope  burning,  keep  our  faith  enlightened  by  God’s
            Word, and let God’s love rule our hearts and minds in Christ
            Jesus our Lord.)
