True Faith

Yesterday, after a prayer was prayed, Doug Kandel asked us to sing the following song with him as he lovingly helped his wife, Connie, transition from this life to the next. 

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus

 There's just something about that name

Master, Savior, Jesus
Like the fragrance after the rain

 Jesus, Jesus, Jesus

There's just something about that name

 Master, Savior, Jesus

Like the fragrance after the rain

 Jesus, Jesus, Jesus

Let all heaven and earth proclaim

 Kings and kingdoms will all pass away

But there's just something about that name

 As the song was sung, the presence of Jesus in that hospital room was more than evident.  And how Jesus must have smiled at the Kandel family as he wiped tears from his eyes and interceded on their behalf to the Father because through them true faith was demonstrated. It is a faith that says, “We will trust Jesus no matter what—whether healing is on this side of heaven or in heaven itself; whether life gives us reason to rejoice or to grieve; whether things make sense now, later or never.  At the end of the day we will not submit to anything smaller than Jesus.”  Thank you, Kandel family for the example of true faith you live and that Connie lived.
