that Fred's "help me" could only be answered by Him.
Song 2:10-13 “My beloved spake, and said unto me, ‘Rise up,
my love, my fair one, and come away. For lo, the winter is past, the
rain is over and gone; the flowers appear on the earth; the time of the
singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our
land; the fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the
tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and
come away…’”
What Fred and I experienced with God those last several
months of his life has transformed me. I no longer believe that God
needs my help in fighting His battles. Our weapons for battle are
spiritual - to me that is the Spiritual One, Jesus. In Eph.6:13 Paul
says, "Therefore take up the full armor of God, that you may be able
to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm."
The full armor of God is Jesus Himself. We just need to rest in Him
as our All-Sufficient One.
14 The Lord is Faithful
It was a joy to see Josh and Fred work out their differences
during Fred’s illness. Josh shared his past hurts with Fred. Fred
listened and asked for forgiveness, which Josh gave. I’m so glad that
our son can now remember the good times he had with his Dad and
not have them clouded over by holding on to past resentments. Praise
God!
