James Nally
In
In life we go through many seasons and some seasons are joy filled and ready to be embraces.
Other’s bring with them pain and sorry.
As we gather here to celebrate the life of James Nally there will be a time to mourn your loss, a time of laughter and joy as you recall the many memories, and a time of questioning when you try to figure things out.
There are several things I want to remind you during this tough time.
God is not afraid of your questions.
Although there are times where God seems to not answer or give us answers we don’t necessarily desire he is not against us asking questions.
In Exodus chapter 3 Moses was called to the burning bush.
There at this miraculous time he recieved a call to save God’s people from slavery.
Before he accepted the call he asked many questions and voiced many doubts.
Moses asked why me? (v11)
Whose authority do you come (V12)
What if they don’t listen and ex.
2. God is not afraid of your tears or your anger.
The Lord is near those who are discouraged; he saved those who have lost all hope.
God is not here to condemn your feelings, but he is here to help you process those feelings and to bring you comfort during this time of mourning.
Many times in the face of tragedy we look for someone to blame, but truly there is no blame-this is no ones fault.
My dad used to tell me there are two things guaranteed for every working man—death and taxes.
Understand that though his life may have ended tragically it is not your fault.
3. God is not afraid to heal you.
This healing is easy to obtain.
in obtaining God’s healing and strength we must welcome his Spirit and accept his son.
He are called to cast all our cares onto God.
We are called to give him our grief, our anger, and our doubt.
By allowing Jesus to come into our lives and giving Him the freedom to work in us we allow his to bind up our wounds.
In life and even in hospitals Dr’s must have permission from those they are saving to give them life altering surgeries and medications.
A dr. cannot simply inflict His will on another human being.
For example when someone has a do not resuscitate order a Dr. cannot attempt to bring them dying person back to life.
The only way a dr.
can do what a dr.
does is if the person permit him to do it.
The same is true with Christ.
He holds the keys to your healing.
He can revive your very soul.
He can wipe away your tears and give you hope in even the most trying of times, but you have to permit him to do so.
The greatest travesty is when one blames God for something He didn’t have permission touch.
You cannot blame a dr.
when a patient with a DNR dies because they were not allowed to work.
We cannot blame God for our sicknesses and sorrow when we don’t allow God in our lives.
There’s the simple message of the gospel.
A healing message that can remove a DNR in a person’s life and give God permission to bandage up wounds and heal the heart, to gather up peices of ourselves we thought we lost and begin to mold them back together.
Christ died for our sins, but we cannot receive his life giving salvation without first giving him permission.
Jesus says that when we accept Him we accept the Father in Heaven.
When we allow him to work we can begin to receive his healing touch.
His saving grace.
and a new life filled with purpose, joy, and peace.
Will you acknowledge Him today?
Will you allow him to comfort you when you mourn, answer you when you question, and fill you when you are empty?
If so let us pray.
