by I am intrigued reading about believers who had the hardest times in life, yet did the most for our Lord. This, while so many skate through life in such easy and do so little for our Lord.
One faithful servant of God has on her tombstone a phrase from Mark 14:8, “She hath done what she could.” WOW! Can that be said of us when we depart this wretched world?
This servant of God was Fanny Crosby. Blind just weeks after birth in a time when technology did not exist to give her the comforts of life afforded to the disabled today. She lived to be 95 years old, and wrote over 8,000 hymns and poems for our Lord. She penned hymns to melodies for Ira Sankey, Philip Bliss, and many others.
If it were not for the suffering of those who got the job done, would your church exist today?
This could be a warning, if we are not doing all that we can for our Lord, will He bring suffering to get us on track, to bring us to our knees, to give Him the worship He deserves and demands?
