What has come of this?
Not despair, but Hope
It has been two months since Marquel went home to be with the Lord and since that time we have struggled, we have cried, we have pondered, and we have searched within ourselves and each other seeking an understanding of what transpired. So, what has come of it? The Word says in Ecclesiastes 7 verse 8 that, “Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof…”. Truly those of us that attended Marquel’s homegoing can attest to that. We were privy to testimonies declaring how many souls were brought to Christ through such a small child. Family, friends, and strangers spoke of his kind spirit and happy nature. In his passing, as awful as it was, God used Marquel to win souls to His kingdom. Marquel’s life was a testimony that many of us dream ourselves to have. What an awesome display of God’s glory and great love!
We may never understand God’s motives, but this we know, He is just. He works all things together for good to them that love Him and are called according to His purpose. Marquel was called and his life was ordained for a great purpose. In his four years he has won more souls than many that still remain. So as you ask yourself what has come of what happened, recall the testimonies that you heard from the various churches and visitors that stood up and shared with us. They were victorious testimonies wroth by God through Marquel. Keep in mind Jeremiah 1:5 where God declares, “ Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” As Marquel was born and left this earth fulfilling the purpose of God, so should we. How awesome it would be to know that we were also mightily used of God. So what indeed came of the events of January 1, 2010? Not despair, but Hope.
May the Lord Bless you
