This world is still passing away, just like my dad did…
““This world is still passing away, just like my dad did, just like autumn leaves do and like you and I will. But God and His Word will never pass away (Matt. 24: 35). He is the one permanent thing we find when we frantically grasp in the dark of our doubt and fear. He is the perfection we long for in the midst of our suffering and brokenness. He is the one sure thing we seek in our uncertainty.””
