Isaiah 40:8 says that while, “the grass withers, flower fades, but the Word of the Lord endures forever.” For a friend of mine, that Scripture has been deeply personal.
Jonathan Ramsey, a member of my campus ministry and a good friend of mine, began having seizures about a year and a half ago due to a psychological condition called conversion syndrome. For many months, Jonathan struggled with depression, doubt and physical pain due to the recurring episodes. It has been awhile since his last seizure and since then he has been stepping up his blogging.
I’d encourage you to read some of his posts, especially one titled “The Valley of the Shadow of Death, Part 2″. My friend is honest about his responses to sin and his circumstances. But the common theme throughout his posts is grace, what got him through and what always gets us through.
