My sorrow overwhelms me

27 September 2007
Daniel 10

16 And suddenly, one having the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips; then I opened my mouth and spoke, saying to him who stood before me, “My lord, because of the vision my sorrows have overwhelmed me, and I have retained no strength. 17 For how can this servant of my lord talk with you, my lord? As for me, no strength remains in me now, nor is any breath left in me.” 18 Then again, the one having the likeness of a man touched me and strengthened me. 19 And he said, “O man greatly beloved, fear not! Peace be to you; be strong, yes, be strong!” So when he spoke to me I was strengthened, and said, “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.”

Explanation:
When I thought about my friend that has a terrible sickness and not going to live forever, I can't help it but to be really sad. He is a really close friend of mine and the thought of going for his funeral soon.. I don't want to go for his funeral so soon. He is my friend. I don't want to loose a friend like him. Boyfriends can be replaced, but friends can't-at least I know this one can't. I was really sad and I told you how sad I was.. I said I needed You to help me because I am really sad right now.. and 'my sorrow overwhelms me'. If he dies, I'm really going to miss him- I'd cry like crazy. Now I wish I could spend more time with him. I wish I could do anything for him- take care of him as a friend. Good friends don't come easily, and I for one knows that very well. I appreciate friends like that.

Application:
You strengthen me, O Lord.. even when I am sad, Lord, You give me the strength to make it through somehow.

    Hehe.. thanks, Lawrence.. you're a great encouragement!

    Well.. no, I don't think he can be cured because he put this sickness on himself. It has to do with the lungs being hardened and all.. it's because he smokes too much.. he knows it's bad for health but he still smoked.. I guess he has to bear his own consequences.. I guess he expected it, he just didn't expect it to come so soon.. none of us would..

    To all the people out there.. Please don't smoke.. we'll miss you when you're gone..
