The Blessing Of Life

Justine helped you experience what “walking in faith, fully trusting in God” really means, no one can do that the way he did it. He taught you to live as if it is the last of day of our lives… to love fully, to embrace, to laugh our hearts out, to enjoy just being alive, to be blest just to have each other. You learned to let the people that matters most in our lives that we love them, to be gentler when we speak, to be thankful for our everyday, knowing that the time we all have are borrowed. One day, we all will meet our Maker.

God personally knows how painful it is to lose a son. The Bible says, “For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.”[6] When God sent His Son, He knew that our Lord Jesus Christ would die on the cross for our sins. But Jesus did not just teach us life lessons. He is giving us life. When we believe in Him, when we put our faith in Him as our Lord and Savior, God will give us eternal life. We will be prepared to meet our Maker. We will be able to live a life that blesses others.

I tell you, Justyn IS a blessing. He was and still is a blessing. That’s just a sample of how Justyn was a blessing to you. I suppose if we sit down and chat with his family, we will hear more about how he blessed their family with life lessons. Long after he is gone, his memories will live in your hearts. When you think of him, there may still be pain. But, I believe there will also be a smile on your face. And you know deep within your heart that someday you will be reunited with him again in the presence of the Lord. You will again see his smile. You will get to embrace him once more. Now, he is more alive there in heaven than here on earth. There in heaven you will see Justyn, no more sickness, no more tears, no more pain, no more sorrows. Till then, you will always remember his love here. You will always remember his endurance. You will always remember Justyn. You’re life will never be the same again because once in your life God gifted you with a blessing… Justyn... He is your blessing from the Lord. He is your reward from Him.
