Asa picked this song to sing at the end of Vance’s memorial service. He said that he wanted to sing it because it reminds him that Jesus is still here with us. 

And my friends, he is right. 

No, I don’t understand any of this. 

Yes, I am devastated. Utterly and completely. I didn’t even know I could hurt this much. 

No, I am not strong. I am just barely strong enough to hold onto Jesus. In my weakness He is strong. 

God is still good. My husband’s death does not change who God is. It changes just about everything else right now but not this. God is still who He says He is. He is loving and good. 

And I know that Jesus himself has welcomed Vance with a “Well done, my good and faithful servant.”
