I wish his testimony of conversion had been a stronger one. Like Grandpa, God may have allowed him to walk in darkness until his last days, but God did not let him go. I would not wish on anyone to walk through an entire lifetime as Bill or Grandpa did. Good grief, I wouldn't even want to see anyone walk in darkness as long as you or I did. But Bill and Grandpa, you and I (Meredith too) are all a testimony to the power of God and the power of prayer from others. With you, I look at the unbelievers in our family with hope, never releasing even people like John from prayer.Anne Lang Bundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02998809463390846323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920734279360907280.post-65250976572642963902011-12-02T00:36:32.639-05:002011-12-02T00:36:32.639-05:00The only thing that I think of when reading this p...The only thing that I think of when reading this post is the people in my life whom I dearly love but don't "know" Jesus. Either they think they do but there is no fruit, or they outright deny Him. My prayer for each of them is that God will do "whatever it takes" to bring them to Him. I also pray that God will keep my kids that are still at home in the palm of His hand despite me being their parent. The words of your post are so daunting for the unbeliever. I have often thought that if one of my unbelieving children died I could not be comforted. It is a desolate place to visit so instead I try to look at them only with hope. Otherwise I could not be comforted even now.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16249781779587825262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920734279360907280.post-27774127766488976032011-12-01T08:44:14.156-05:002011-12-01T08:44:14.156-05:00... once you've experienced Darkness, Light be...<i>... once you've experienced Darkness, Light becomes even brighter.</i><br /><br />In those words, David, I hear an echo of Jesus describing that those who love much are those who are forgiven much.Anne Lang Bundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02998809463390846323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920734279360907280.post-54488659161475975482011-12-01T07:19:45.137-05:002011-12-01T07:19:45.137-05:00The Darkness which you speaks is real -- and once ...The Darkness which you speaks is real -- and once you've experienced it Light becomes even brighter.
