I really do believe this is no longer about the evil people in this case. They have done their worst. Now it is a case of keeping our eyes on the Lord and seeing what He will do. He has kept her all this time...He will keep her until it is His own decision to let her go. I am praying now that He will keep her healthy and tell her to keep hanging on and that help is coming.
You know that I share that belief. They may think that they have Terri's life in their hands, but they don't! She is in the hands of a living God!
I said this a few days ago, to someone else:
God hears our cries. He has chosen not to allow anyone in government to save Terri's life.
God has allowed Terri's husband to have control over her.
Why?
I am not sure, but in the Bible, God often allowed evil people to have control over His loved ones. And what I also noticed was that God's loved ones, never treated those who Lord over them, with contempt. They treated them, and asked them for mercy, without resenting what those "Lords" had done to them. Think of Joseph. He forgave his brothers. He did not plot against Potipher's (spelling?) wife...Joseph was unjustly treated. Yet he did not complain, or resent what the Lord allowed into his life.
Think of Nate Saint and the other missionaries who were killed in south america. Their wives and children forgave and loved the killers and actually moved in with them! They had their eyes on what was important, the salvation of those who are lost.
Jesus said to love our enemies. Terri's life is in God's hands, not anyone elses, really. Only God gives life, and he numbers our days. He can save Terri whenever he wants to.
So, one might ask what is the lesson here is?
Perhaps it is that we must all be prepared to act as Christ acted during his passion. He FORGAVE his killers. He died for them.
We must forgive.
I know this is hard to take, but Terri's parents and siblings MUST forgive Mike. Their hard hearts are more deadly than Terri's death.
They must go to the person God has allowed to be in control of Terri's life and beg him to save their daughter.
I think that Mike is also a target of God's mission in this ordeal. Mike's salvation is important to God. Now is the Schindlers chance to reveal God's love to this man, and the world.
