Dear Young Christian:
Life is full of the unexpected! A few hours ago all my plans for the next two weeks have been changed.
I am writing this page on a flight from Guyana South America to Barbados, and on to Saint Vincent this evening. In a couple of days I was to fly to Grenada to spend six days visiting and doing gospel work. However that is where plans have changed.
I got a call today telling me that a very dear friend and brother in the Lord has passed away, with a request to take his funeral, which I have agreed to do. So I am in the process of changing flights and making plans to return to North America. How good it is to know the Lord and to be able to accept all these things from Him. Otherwise, how frustrated and angry we would be. I love the verse that says: “Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass” (Psalm 37:5). You, too, will experience many unexpected and unwanted changes in life. Learn to trust and accept them from the Lord.
Your Christian Friend,
Jim Hyland
