Visited Mama grave this afternoon. The despair monster striked me again. Messaged GP that I have not accepted that God should take mama away. She replied,"Aunt had finished her course but you haven't. e reason is obvious. finish your race. God will surely take you home. But I believe we may not have to die before going to heaven. He's coming! The wedding of weddings will begin very soon. Oh be glad!"
Read the Pilgrim's Progress about the character Little-faith who was robbed by Faint-heart, Mistrust, Guilt. Little-faith should be happy that they did not get his jewels; the certificate that he needed in order to gain admission at the Celestial Gate by the grace of Great-grace. But instead, fresh thoughts of his loss would surge into his mind whenever he began to be comforted.
Poor Little-faith! Hast been among the thieves?
Wast robbed? Remember this, whoso believes,
And get more faith, then shall you victors be
Over ten thousand, else scare over three.
from Pilgrim Progress by John Buyan
How true this is to me.
