“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”
Philippians 4:8 NIV
This verse has such special meaning for me. I was speaking at a dear friend of mine’s memorial, Denny Finger. He was such a wonderful man, in so many ways. His marriage to my forever friend Claudine was such a shining example to me of what I wanted my marriage to look like. The love they shared was such a gift from God.
I knew that day, how I was going to start. God had given it to me clearly the verse and the words, but I didn’t know how I was going to end. It was such an honor and privilege to speak for my friend that day and I was trusting God to come through for me.
He did!
It was about 10 minutes before I was to speak that this verse was texted to me, I knew I had my ending. My dear friend had suffered so much here on this earth, but I knew now he was free. He was completely healed. He was with Jesus. When I think of this verse it reminds me of that day. He is one of the true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent and praiseworthy things that comes to my mind. So grateful to have shared a bit of this life with you Denny. Til we meet again friend!
God's Perfect Timing
