As many of you know, six-year-old Daisy Merrick’s cancer is back.
I cannot imagine what the Merrick family must be going through right now.
This last Sunday, Pastor Britt Merrick preached a message on the Beauty of Suffering for the Christian. The sermon helps me understand. More importantly, it helps me understand how Christ is more supremely treasured in our suffering.
As Daisy’s father explains, the Merrick family has been given a gift. It’s the gift of cancer. And this gift has been used by God to shine a light on the hope we find in Christ alone. What a joy.
And what a faith.
Cast your burden upon the Lord and He will sustain you.’ (Ps 55:23) This is truth. I am experiencing this. Thank you Jesus.
—Britt Merrick
I highly suggest watching Pastor Britt’s sermon.
He counts the many blessings that God has gifted them through this storm:
- In Daisy’s own life and testimony
- In his own
- In the lives of others.
Watch below. And please continue to keep the Merrick family in your prayers. We have a big God.
