3. I want you to know that I wouldn’t have it any other way.
I say this—even though I grieve with you; even though I pray and long for your health and strength; even though I do get weary and overwhelmed sometimes. But what it all comes down to is this: When I vowed “in sickness and in health,” I wasn’t just saying words. I know that health and sickness only come from the hand of God, and that He is good.
I know that all things must work together for our salvation. I know that He has linked my life to yours, and we are in this together. We will grieve together; we will pray together. And if you NEVER recover strength, we will lean on our God together And I wouldn’t have it any other way.
It’s you and me. I’m with you. That’s where I belong. Let’s do this thing together.
“Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; For love is as strong as death, jealousy as cruel as the grave; Its flames are flames of fire, a most vehement flame. Many waters cannot quench love, nor can the floods drown it. If a man would give for love all the wealth of his house, it would be utterly despised” (Sol 8:6-7 NKJ).
