For Jason 11/06/2009
Dearest Jason,
Why have you gone from us this day? What lies finally persuaded you that death was to be sought over life? Was it only the lies or their consistent hounding? I know their seduction, especially to the rebellious part of our will. It's hard to wait on God when our lives seem to fly by unnoticed. But that too,is a lie...our lives are never unnoticed, but satan's flowered tongue will make it seem so.
So what was it, Jason, what wooed your eyes away from Jesus? Was it the circumstances around you; a desire unmet, loneliness, trying to rejoice over someone else's hope fulfilled when your own hope was differed? What lie took your eyes off the One who promises peace? For it is in those moments when our eyes stray, we are most vulnerable.
I miss you, Jason, your presence is gone, so too the love you so freely gave.
Be at peace, my friend, now, in the One who's very presence is peace.
Loving you always...
Beth
