Two years ago my maid’s 35yr old son, committed suicide by consuming poison. He had a wife and two adorable children. No one knew why he did what he did. It came as a shock to the whole family. As time passed by, the family took the tragedy in their stride. Just when everything seemed to go on well, they were faced with another battle … another heart shattering experience.
Yesterday, my maid didn’t turn up for work. We thought she’d come in a bit late but instead of her, there came a phone call and I could hear my maid crying. She some how managed to gather herself and she told me that her 14yr old grandson died that morning. Her grandson was suffering from cancer but she had faith that he would be healed. However, instead of witnessing a miracle, she witnessed a disappointment.
Many times in our lives we come across times that shatter us … times that make us wonder if God hears our prayers … times when we don’t know why horrible things happen to us or to our loved ones. Nevertheless, the good news is that if you’ve given your life to Christ, you have an assurance that no matter what the circumstance, God is still in control. Although we don’t know why such and such a thing has happened, God does. Moreover, He makes all things beautiful in His time.
We should always know for a fact that Christ’s grace is more than sufficient to get us through this life. I know that my maid and her family will accept this young death and move on with life because the Bible says that it is in our weaknesses - in our weak moments, that the power of God is made PERFECT!
