Some people might think maybe if they have done something different,
their life could have been better. Or perhaps worse because we can’t tell the
future nor can we say what would be the best for us. That is why anything we do
in life should be to our liking it, but how great if our liking it is in accord
with the correct way to do things. How do we know that the way we live is the
best? When we have integrity, and are
satisfied in all we do, we know we’ve done the best.
Have you known a person like that? I have: my father was one of them. I say “was” because he’s already gone home as
of July 4th 2019; a date I could never forget. I’d miss him, and I’d
be remembering him every time I do something we used to do together since he
lived with us, like when we had the daily devotional. Since he had been a
Sunday school teacher he usually asked me questions as if I was a student.
Sometimes they were easy given the many years I’ve been a Bible searcher, but
he knew things only a theologian would. As I said at his funeral, he met the
Lord at the early teen years at a Presbyterian church in Cuba and was always
faithful to The Lord and to the denomination where he met Him, and to all
others he served as a medical doctor, as a friend, family, brethren in Christ,
or simply a human being, but his priorities were to his Lord and Savior who
left His Glory to come to this world and pay the debt everyone of us had
because of the original sin, and take anyone, who believes in Him, as family to
His eternal Home where He will wipe away every tear from their
eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any
mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away. (Revelation
21.4) How great!
Since I became part of the family of God I was sort of in conflict with
the words of the song “My Way” because I believed that we shouldn’t do things
our way, but God’s way in order to be under “The Grace of God Umbrella” but
thinking in my father’s determined life I have learned that one could do things
his way as long as it is in accord with God’s will. Doing things your way shows courage, and if
your way is in accord with the Father’s, you’ll have complete Satisfaction like
my Dad always had when he used to say on anything: “How
marvelous it is!”
That is why I know he’s enjoying his being now, making a reality what Paul, apostle, said: For to me, to live is Christ and to die is
gain. (Philippians 1.21)
When I think of all the people who live to do evil things to others I
feel sad for them. On the opposite side my Dad lived to do good to everyone
always knowing that: Every good thing given and any perfect gift is from above, coming down
from the father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. (James 1.17)
