I just read about a little boy who died of cancer at age 3. You can read their blog here. The thought of lose any of my children just about tares my heart apart. “…but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.” 1 Corinthian 10: 13 I realize this verse is talking about temptation, but I believe this verse also can be a comfort to times of trial and heart-ache. And I pray that I’m not able to bear losing any of my children. I realize this is a selfish (and perhaps common?) prayer. Yet I know, if it would ever be road that the Lord would have me walk, He will carry me. He will not desert me, nor give me a burden that is impossible for me to carry.
My heart goes out to this family.
