Testimony 21/07/05: There’ll Be Rejoicing

During the church communion, Tina shared a Scripture from the Bible of a widow whose son has just died. She has lost her husband, and now she lost her son. She was in despair. She felt loneliness and hopelessness. Her dreams died in front of her very eyes. She has lost her future.

But Jesus came and brought her son back to life. Suddenly her eyes widened, her heart bubbled. There was rejoicing.

I felt that there is a missing portion in my heart. There are questions that may never find answers. I felt loneliness. I have watched my dreams died in front of my very own eyes. My future. I felt tears streaming down my cheek.

Then I sense God came to me. He said, “He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all - how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things?” (Romans 8:32) God is a good God who would not take away the things we desire unless He has something better for us.

So even though I don’t know where life would lead me, I know that God has paid the price. And I know that there will be rejoicing… just like the widow who found her dream alive again when her son was resurrected.
