Update on brother Mike Ratliff

A couple of posts ago, I shared  that Mike Ratliff had had a seizure. This is an update on his condition and also a link to a most wonderful posting that he has written.

Come to Me and I Will Give You Rest

My brethren, I do not know why God has brought back a very old illness to torment me at this time. I suffered several seizures in the late 1970’s, but have had none since then until a few weeks ago. I have had two over a period of 10 days. They were very severe and I am in a lot of pain in my joints and my back. Why has God allowed this? Why has He given me this thorn in the flesh? Well, I don’t know, but I do know that nothing happens to us that is not according to His will. I am still here. He has not taken me home nor has He removed this ministry from me. Therefore, I will continue to serve Him with my all and seek to walk in repentance the rest of my life as I rest in my Lord.

Please link to the title at the top of the quotation to be taken to his post.

Mike’s,  Testing Of Your Faith is also another wonderful explanation of walking with the Lord through difficulties.

I trust you will be so blessed by both postings.
