IT MEANS SO MUCH TO KNOW THE LOVE OF FAMILY AND FRIENDS IN TIMES LIKE THIS TO ALL OF JESSICA’S FRIENDS, AMBULANCE SERVICE REPRESNTATIVES, and THOSE THAT SHE WORKED WITH THANK YOU…FOR YOUR LOVE AND EXPRESSIONS OF SYMPATHY… YOU HAVE SHOWN TO THIS FAMILY. I am painfully aware of all the normal emotions and feelings… And the questions that are present here today…Sorrow, Guilt, Confusion… ETC. Questions everyone is asking themselves…What, and If… I could have done more? If I had only known… And so on? BUT TODAY… WE ARE HERE TO CELEBRATE JESSICA’S LIFE… AND THE TIME GOD ALLOWED, FOR HER IN BEING A PART OF OUR LIVES. JESSICA… HAD SO MANY WONDERFUL QUALITIES!!! AND YOU’VE HEARD ABOUT HER LOVE AND KINDNESS I’M SURE… EACH ONE OF YOU COULD STAND AND SHARE SOME WONDERFUL EXPERIENCES, AND STORIES CONCERNING JESSICA WE ALSO GATHER TO FIND COMFORT IN THE LORD JESUS AND HIS WORD WE HAVE A GREAT PHYSICIAN… WHO KNOWS HOW TO BRING HEALING AND RESTORATION… TO OUR BROKEN HEARTS!!! AND PEACE… TO OUR TROUBLED MINDS!!! AND THE SONGWRITER WROTE “BECAUSE HE LIVES” I CAN FACE TOMORROW SO MANY OF THOSE OLD SONGS ARE NOT JUST SONGS BUT WERE WRITTEN WITH THE WORD OF GOD FOR OUR DIFFICULT TIMES WE FACE WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER AMAZING GRACE HE HIDETH MY SOUL IN THE CLEFT OF THE ROCK THE HAVEN OF REST BLESSED ASSURANCE GOD IS A FAITHFUL GOD!!! THE APOSTLE PAUL CALLS HIM… • THE GOD OF ALL COMFORT!!! 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; 4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. Isaiah 53:4-5 4(a) Surely he hath borne our grief's, and carried our sorrows… 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. I CERTAINLY DO NOT HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS… I HAVE… TO LEAN ON GOD!! WE HAVE… TO LEAN ON GOD!!! THE APOSTLE PAUL IN… Romans 11:33(b) “How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!” MOSES WROTE IN… Deuteronomy 29:29 (a) “The secret things belong unto the Lord our God” BUT THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE REVEALED BELONG UNTO US THE THINGS WE DON’T KNOW ARE NOT OURS—WE CAN’T DO ANYTHING WITH THEM---THEY ARE HIDDEN FROM US BUT THE THINGS WE KNOW ABOUT GOD ARE OURS USING THE WORDS OF CHRIST IN THE BOOK OF MATTHEW…
“GIVE US THIS DAY!” LORD, GIVE ME MY STRENGH FOR… TODAY! DAVID WROTE IN… Ps 143:7 ¶ Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit. 8 Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee. At the making of this psalm David was cast into some desperate danger; whether by Saul when he was forced to flee into the cave, as in the former psalm, or by Absalom his son, or by some other, it is uncertain. But we can imagine that he was critically in need of God. He said, “Hear me speedily, O Lord.” This is the tone of a man experiencing some kind of distress. He said, “My spirit faileth.” All his strength was failing and failing fast. If God does not come on the scene quickly, he fears he’s not going to endure. David was in distress! He needed God and he needed Him RIGHT NOW!
He cries out, “Hide not thy face from me!” “Don’t turn your face from me!” Illus: A story is told of a husband who had lost his wife and a daughter who had lost her mother. After the funeral some of the close relatives noticed the pain of the husband and asked him, “Do you want us to take your daughter away for a few days so that you can have some time to grieve?” The man replied, “No, we are going to face this together.” So that night as the father was putting his daughter to bed she cried out, “Daddy, it is dark in here, may I sleep in your room?” His reply was, “Yes, you may sleep in my room.” As they went into the father’s room, he turned off the light, his little girl cried out again, “Daddy it is dark in here too.” The father said, “Yes baby, I know it is dark.” Then the little girl said, “Daddy it is darker than it has ever been.” The father replied, “Yes baby, it is darker than it has ever been to me, too.” In the darkness the little girl asked, “Daddy, is your face turned toward me?” The dad said, “Yes, my face is turned toward you.” She said, “I can go to sleep now.” After the little girl went to sleep, the father who was in such despair at the loss of his wife fell down upon his knees and asked, “God is your face turned toward me?” He heard a voice gently say, “Yes my face is turned toward you.” The father said, “Okay, I going to sleep now.” You can make it through any situation you may face because the Father’s face is turned toward you. It may be darker than it has ever been in your life, but guess what? The Father’s face is turned toward you. You have asked, “God it seems you are a million miles away. I can’t feel you, I can’t see you, and it’s so dark! Is your face turned toward me? Let me assure you that He has His face turned toward you today, and the darker it gets, the closer He becomes. In Psalm 69:17 David said, “Hide not thy face from thy servant, for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.” THE BIBLE IS FULL OF INSTANCES…
Job 23:1-10 (a) 1 Then Job answered and said, 2 Even today is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning. • His hand is heavy in spite of my groaning. 3 Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat! 4 I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments. 5 I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me. 6 Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me. 10(a) But he knoweth the way that I take: JOB REMINDS US… • GOD IS AVAILABLE FOR US IN THE TIMES WHEN LIFE GETS MORE THAN WE CAN BEAR!!! JOB ALSO KNEW… GOD WOULD HEAR HIM AND HELP HIM!!! • Gen. 8:1 And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters RECEDED. • • AFTER… DAYS OF STORMS! AFTER… DAYS OF RAIN AND WIND!!! GOD REMEMBERED!!! YES FUNERALS ARE TWO-FOLD… • TODAY WE GATHER HERE TO REMEMBER… THE LIFE, AND THE PRECIOUS MEMORIES OF JESSICA. • BUT WE MUST ALSO RECEIVE AND HOLD ON TO… THE PROMISES GOD HAS GIVEN TO US FOR TIMES LIKE THESE!!! GOD REMEMBERED!!! Psa 61:2-3
2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. 3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. IN CLOSING… I WANT YOU TO KNOW… • • JESUS GAVE THE GREATEST INVITATION THAT COULD EVER BE GIVEN WHEN HE SAID… Mat 11:28-30 28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
