REACHING THE WORLD FOR GOD

I must testify.  My cousin passed away Saturday Aug. 2, at 5:15pm.  I was blessed with the opportunity of getting to talk and pray with my cousin on Friday night at 8:30 before his second surgery.  I ask him if he had prayed yet as I held his hand in mine, my main concern being his soul first, then his health.  He told me that he had not prayed yet.  I did not feel like he knew what I was asking him, so I ask him straight out, "Terry, is your heart right with God?"  He replied, "yes, I rededicated my heart to God last week.  I had a feeling that something was not right, something told me to get things straight with God, so I did."  I ask him, "do you want me to pray with you?"  He said, "yes, and said, would you,  I am not very good at these things."  His eyes spoke to my heart that he knew something was going on.  So, we prayed.  I felt the presence of God so strong in that room and a great peace came over me.  I kissed his forehead and told him to think on God and that he was in God's hands.  That was the last time I spoke to him. 

My comfort in his death comes from God, especially knowing how merciful God was to him, and knowing that God came to him in Gods great mercy and gave him the opportunity to make things right.  How great is our God!!!!!!!!!!  I praise him for his great love and mercy.  That brings me great peace and joy. Thank you God!
