This week I heard an inspiring story about a local man.
He has had four heart surgeries and 15 stents. He has been married for 8 years, and has prayed fervently for his wife's salvation during that time.
This past Sunday, she finally agreed to go to church with him. During the final hymn, she was so moved that she went to the front to pray with the pastor to receive Christ.
What a blessing for this man! He has wondered what his purpose is, and why God was allowing him to go through these illnesses, but he persevered and has seen the fruit of his prayers!
There is more to the story, however. On Monday, she died.
If we ever wonder what God's purpose for our life is, or why he allows us to go on with illnesses or emotional pain, this man's life explains it all. Heaven is rejoicing over this woman's soul at this very moment because her husband persevered in his prayers and had faith that God had a special purpose for his life.
We must persevere! God has a very special plan for each of us - so remarkable that we cannot even imagine.
