Zac passed away on Sunday afternoon. I was driving home from Jacksonville when I heard of his death and immediately I wept, thinking of his wife and children. Then, an amazing feeling of joy overcame me. For the first time in my life, I’ve experienced what it feels like to know that someone is actually in heaven…no doubt. Zac suffered and now he’s healed. Not only that, but he got to see Jesus!
Zac’s attitude of his disease, how he embraced it, and even looked at it as a gift from God gave me such a reality check. I neglect being thankful for the blessings that I have and the life that I get to live. I also thought of how Zac’s disease was completely out of his control, yet he still gave praise for it. It made me think of how many people in this world suffer from a controllable disease (i.e. addiction, alcoholism, drug use, anything that effects your health negatively) and do nothing about it.
Why do we beg God to take away “disease” that we cannot control but refuse to give up what we can control? What an insult to God.
Zac’s memorial service will be live today at 4 pm. You can watch it here: http://www.newspring.cc/ Please keep Zac’s wife, Mandy, and his three children in your prayers.
“If God chooses not to heal me and allows me to die, God is still God and God is still good. To God be the glory” -Zac Smith
