Letter from a dying Christian to her pastor
Sue, a mother of three, became a Christian in the late 1980s. She and her husband gave themselves fully to the work of Christ, especially among young people in their local church. Three and a half years ago, Sue was diagnosed with cancer, but experienced the remarkable grace of God through the illness. She departed to be with Christ in January. The following is an extract of a letter she wrote to her pastor.
Dear Pastor,
I am really looking forward to my funeral to have the chance to get all my friends and family to come together with God's people and to hear a good gospel message. I pray they all come and I pray their hearts will, at last, be open to all my Lord would say to them. Let them know it was my greatest wish that they hear this. It isn't what you're asking. It's what I truly want with all my heart. I would die for my faith. I want them all to know it's really true.
