Impromptu Eulogy – Those attending were given an opportunity to speak of Dave.
August 31, 2024
I heard about Dave’s memorial yesterday, so he was on my heart as I prepared for our Men’s group this morning. He was my friend.
Justin 133 AD – “perceived the real nature of truth.” I believe Dave perceived the same about Jesus.
The reason I’ve always believed Dave cared so much is because he knew the Care Jesus has for him.
We are made In God’s Image. Dave understood this and treated everyone as such, with love and respect.
God knows our potential for good or evil – depending on the Truth we embrace. Dave chose the Truth from the Bible. The truth isn’t the prize, but Who is conveyed thru the Truth. Jesus’ patient explanation of His Truth to His enemies in John 8:31 – The Truth Shall Set You Free
Dave understood Jesus’ patient nurturing of us through the Truth is in the hope we’d be Saved. I know these are the things Dave, too, cared very much about.
Dave is unusual in a BIG heart as well as a BIG devotion to the Truth. You may notice I speak of Dave in the present, not the past. It’s because the Truth tells us that for a follower who belongs to Jesus, to be absent of the body is to be present with the Lord. Dave’s spirit is not dead, just as Jesus’ Spirit is not dead.
I’m so pleased he basks in the Truth and love of our Lord now, face to Face.
