Dust In The Wind- Dedicated to Shawn Michael Mills

"He will change our simple bodies and make them like his own glorious body." Philippians 3:21
How can you put into words your worldly imperfect body? My arthritic body, my diabetic body, my cancerous body, my addicted body? The disease may be different but the message is the same. Our bodies are imperfect, they started decaying the minute we were born. According to Jesus this was the plan: every sickness, every wrinkle, every needle is a bit closer to the last moment where He will change our earthly bodies into perfect bodies like His. We are living toward a day where we have no pain, no illness, no depression - no end. We have all suffered and lost, we have all seen some one we love dear be stricken with illness and pain. It hurts us to see ourselves and loved ones suffer. But this is not our home, we are only passing through. This is not our forever house, it will do for a time but nothing will surpass the day we walk into His house and suffer no more. When pain has stricken your family or you and your worldly body is giving way, remember, we are but dust. We close our eyes and all our dreams pass before us and are gone. Nothing lasts forever, not even the earth and skies, not even your body. All they are is dust in the wind. We were given these warnings from the beginning of time. Our human minds are attached to this world and the things in it because we forget where our treasures lie. Look toward the heavens and find your strength in knowing there will be a day when separation will be no more. All pain and illness will come to an end. When tears stream down your face burning the cheek stealing your reality look toward heaven and grin. When disease rears it's ugly head again, and you are left with questions will this ever end? Look towards heaven, again. When each day brings more needles and test know its a day closer to rest. Instead of fears causing your eyes to rain with tears. Look toward heaven, my dears. Be glad instead of sad that their days of end are over. Their eternal days have begun, the temporary journey is over and they may settle in and life can finally begin. Your time is set as well and you too will be rid of this hell. Let's pray " Lord I say this prayer from my knees, I pray Lord for your healing hands to be laid upon a sickly body. To heal the pain and suffering. I pray for your hands to fall upon and watch over your child who is stuck with tear stained eyes. Give him strength and faith in your will. Bless them both Lord that they will find your peace. Give us the understanding Lord of this being but a temporary home. Let us remain with our eyes on you Lord knowing we will one day be gathered together and sing. Lord forgive us our sins and thank you Lord for walking through this land with us. I pray these things in severance Lord Jesus. Because of the blood of your son we are saved and know these things are true. It is in his holy name I pray Amen".
