Addendum -
This young woman finally made it home, though for just a short time, before she went into eternity. I never got to speak to her again. How I hope she realized her sinfulness and looked to Christ as her savior before she passed on from this life.

Jesus is the only hope!
I visited today [09-04-07] a young lady (young compared to me) in the hospital. She is suffering from a very aggressive cancer. Her outlook is not that great. I spoke to her concerning spiritual matters. The usual comment from her, “I believe in God.” I then spoke to her about her need (as well as all of us) of Christ. I spoke to her about her possible pending death and that she would either face eternity in Christ or on her own. I encouraged her to think about these things, prayed and then soon left.
Believeing in a soverign God sometimes makes it hard not to just grab someone and shake them and say to them, “Don’t you understand!” “You may soon be gone from this world - do not leave it outside of Christ!” Sometimes they do not understand. Yet we are still to warn and leave the understanding in God’s hands. This is when we need to trust the Lord emphatically. The young lady is hoping to go to her house soon (she has been in the hospital for 2 months now). I am hoping that the young lady will soon see her need of Christ as her Savior. May the Lord be pleased to bless in that manner.
