As a Christian I have hope in Jims recovery. It is to his God I also pray. In the Bible the book of Philippians chapter 2:19-24 say the following:
19 for I know that through your prayers and Gods provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance. 20 I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. 21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. 22 If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! 23 I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; 24 but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.
As I said I too am praying for his recovery. Jim will live with Christ Jesus if he does pass from this and we will all will miss him. Yet if it is not his time He will live out his Life for Christ. Either way, know that the family is at peace!
