"And the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast." 1Peter 5:10
God supplies all grace for His redeemed. He has called His chosen to be with Him eternally in Christ(how great that is). Our suffering takes place here on earth for and due to many things. Some of it is so He can be glorified, some so others can be comforted and some to help us lead others to Him and His saving grace. Be ever watchful for those instances where He wants you to do something for Him. How great His restoration will be. Our bodies are but a fleeting vessel used to showcase His glory and faithfulness, when we handle it properly. My body is not the same as it used to be and I know he will make it strong, firm and steadfast again. In some instances, He will restore our young and make them strong, firm and steadfast for the service He has for them. There are times also when our loved ones wander from their roots of salvation and grace. They face the suffering mentioned, but He will restore them and make them strong, firm and steadfast. Never give up on them, pray continually. My mother is ninety two years old. I wish you could see her daily prayer journal. You have to go to be with the Lord to get off of it. I am not sure when I got put on the prayer list, but I know I was in church 9 months prior to my birth. I think it was some time during that 9 months or shortly before then even. I have been blessed and prayed over everyday of my life, over 67 years. Pray now that your loved ones will be strong, firm and steadfast in Him.

I am praising God for His grace to us! I can't wait to see the firm, strong and steadfast man that my little Jude will become because of our Father's great work in his life.
My exact thoughts and why I posted it!
In reading Stephanie's blog I sit in total awe and amazement of what a true miracle has taken place... This scripture says it so perfect. My heart aches for Stephanie, and how horribly hard this is, and has to have been on the entire family...
Each and everyday Jim shows us through leadership, attitude, and his walk with Christ a comfort, and guiding light that only a firm, strong, and steadfast man in Spirt can deliver....I believe Little Jude may be walking in his Grandpa's path, because his little eyes speak volumns... He's a brave little guy.
This scripture is powerful! Thank you for sharing it!
