Dear Beautiful,
There is no impossibility for God, so always put your trust in Him who has the power to change what is unchangeable, and direct us to the paths He has chosen for us all according to His Good Purpose.
This reminds me of a message a good friend of mine, Fr. Ranulfo Ganido, our medical chaplain. In his message during that particular mass, he emphasized the importance in our ability to carry our own innate crosses that the Lord places on us. He said something that was rather poignant--that these difficulties are not made or placed in us to break us, but rather, are placed to test us, and to steer us towards a strong relationship with our God. I think there is great truth in this, personally.
First and foremost, please know that we are thinking and praying for you. We love you, abundantly. And that you can always turn to us here in Tubag Bohol Dot Com , as our arms will always be open wide. A brother or sister in pain should not have to worry in suffering being alone, but should know that he is cared for. That said, Elsie, I know that no matter what we say, in the end, this personal trial requires your own patience, your own strength to bear with the pain that we are placed in. But I want you to know that no matter what, whether we be in good health, or in bad health, always always hold on to that which is beautiful. It is your faith in God.
Strength during times of trouble and during times of tests is what consolidates our faith. We are reminded that Faith is tested in fire.
Romans 8: 18,
"For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us."~
I'd like to share with you a video I prepared months ago. It reflects the relationship between us (our ever present yearning to be with God), and Our Lord God.
