Starting Afresh with God #2: Will it be easy?

Once upon a time, the mind was filled with great unselfish acts and selfless thoughts daily. It was not about her or anything else that kept her in the comfort zone. Waking up every morning with one accord in mind: "Lord, how do You want to use me today?" was her daily bread. "Lord, even if you will use me in ways I can't see, my soul will rejoice in knowing that your hand is involved." she said.
Something happened and drastically she was diagnosed with a dreadful disease that she was told she hasn't enough time to live. She had a choice to either curse God and die or make the most of her last days pleasing God. Now every morning wasn't about "how do You want to use me" anymore but she now woke up to great confusion. "Lord, what must I pray for? My healing or should I just give thanks for my life until I die?" It was really hard for her. She thought of who she was when she was still healthy and prayed for God to use her everyday.

She was a very humble soul and all she cared about was others more than herself. She worked for others to have. She planted for others to reap, she cried for others to laugh, she endured pain for others to be happy. She was selfless. 

As she lies in her death bed, confused, questions started running in her mind: Why was she so selfless? Was it because she was healthy and felt like she had something to give or was it who she really was?

To be continued...

Stay Blessed!!!
