Instead you are comforting others

So many people have come to visit Chrysanthemum in the hospital.

And the light of God shines through her. The nurses and doctors are looking at a Christian who strongly believes in God and who is gracious to all.

Chrysanthemum has told me not to worry and that she is waiting for God's mercy upon her and she will pull through.

Chemotherapy has not been recommended and perhaps other ways are being sought.

She has been strengthened by her own vision of God's hand pulling her through this adversity. So in her hospital bed, she is still using every once of her strength to encourage,advise and comfort people.

I am so glad that Muslims, non Christians, Buddhists and Christians alike visit her and wish her well. it is heartening that friends could try their best to comfort her and take time off. It is this unbearable impending loss that is choking us all up. God works in mysterious ways and we have not yet seen the light and the Great Understanding of His Purpose for us. May we also pray that we love God with all our hearts, our mind, and our soul.

As I wait for more news of her, and for God's wisdom,here is a prayer to share with you.

Lord, we pray not for tranquility,
nor that our tribulatins may cease;
we pray for thy spirit and thy love,
that though grant us strength and grace to overcome adversity;
through Jesus Christ. Amen.
