They are nursing their 43 year old daughter Karen (with unsaved husband and 3 kids). Karen has Lymphoma cancer throughout her body.. and as a last resort they are trying to get her own stem cells transplanted.<br /><br />I thought this post was especially appropriate for them, as they have been battling this cancer for almost two years -- and now, aside from God's Grace, it appears to be terminal. But we know God's Grace overcomes every believer's problems.<br /><br />With my email, I sent them a couple of clarifying comments:<br />1. You wrote, "God’s purpose in sanctifying us is to draw us closer to Him. We pray more—committing our problems and needs to Him and then WAITING."<br />This is excellent thought and in my study of Isaiah 40:31 we are to "wait upon" the Lord." The words "wait upon", is "qavah" in Hebrew, meaning to bind together perhaps by twisting. In the context of the verse of service to the Lord, it indicates to serve or wait upon as a servant. Then we will gather the strength to mount up with strength as wings as eagles. <br />I wrote this to them in my note:<br />2. there are two circumstances of the condition of Sanctification. So I will try to offer an explanation of Sanctification:<br /><br />A. Eternal total sanctification (setting apart and cleansing) is our Standing, which happens the very moment we trust Jesus Christ as Savior, it is eternal and will never change.<br />B. Then daily sanctification (cleansing) which is the daily state of our lives -- which He does as a means of discipline (teaching).<br /><br />I know they will receive a blessing from your post. I will follow your Blog via my RSS feeds.<br /><br />In Jesus Christ eternally, <br />Jack WeaverAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2332507162312670425.post-83750326318949444602010-11-09T01:40:15.463-08:002010-11-09T01:40:15.463-08:00As a grandma of 1 sweet....although entering the t...As a grandma of 1 sweet....although entering the twos with a "new" and opinionated personality...granddaughter, I recently saw a photo album labeled: "Grandkids fill the empty spot in your heart you didn't know you had." And I agree. I love watching our "kids" parent. It was great to see you again.
