Fellow Labourers-
As we ponder the existential questions: Who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going? Why am I here? Our perspective and life can be altered for good or for bad. The answers we derive from these questions will eventually shape our future. A life threatening illness will push some of us nearer to God, whilst others will rebel and go further away from God. So when we look in the mirror of life do we see a stranger?
This story is an awesome one and one that tells me that we do not always determine the outcome. Not only do we not determine the outcome but may be surprised by the outcome. Our surprise is because the future is laced with uncertainity. It is this uncertainty that should drive us to plan, but rest in hope. A man without hope will always see a stranger in the mirror. "Beloved now are we the sons of God and it does not yet appear what we shall be. But we know that when he shall appear we shall see him as he is." 1 John 3:2.
Pax Vobiscum
