STUCK BETWEEN LIFE and DEATH
I’m absolutely convinced that nothing — nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable — absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us. Romans 8:38–39
I was stuck. Between life and death. I couldn’t die and I couldn’t live.
I had a virus compounded by other infections. I was SICK, miserable and unable to do anything other than suffer on a hospital guerney during two emergency room visits.
They could do nothing for me to alleviate the virus which was causing other problems. I was stuck between life and death with no one to help.
I had no scripture, no songs of comfort, nothing…. All I could mouth was, “God, have mercy.” My brain and body were shutting down.
I lingered in such a dark place, unable to walk on my own, prepare food for myself, accurately dole out medication, read, write and even think. I sat in my recliner with my eyes closed waiting. For what???
Eventually, I started to become more aware.
I kept crying out for God’s mercy…and He heard me! I began to return to life.
Now, six months later, I am almost fully recovered. Walking is hard work but I can write, think, type and read again. Life is full, thanks be to God!
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for Thou art with me. Psalm 23
