Don't you realize that the harder God works the harder the other side works too? Don't let him win with doubts and fears. Keep your faith looking towards heaven one step at a time. -Lori Heimer

Lori was a friend of ours who was murdered near Salina, Kansas last June 25. The murderer has not been found. Lori had sent this advice to a friend of hers who was going through difficult times years ago, and the friend recently sent it back to Lori's daughters.

I don't normally use any text other than scripture to preach from, but Lori's advice is scripturally sound. Today I memorialized Lori here in our service and built a message around her comment and used it to try and explain Romans 8:28.

"For we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose."

It's not easy. There are things that only God knows or understands. Please continue to pray for Lori's family.
