As many of you know, the Gospel singer, Mandisa, was found passed away on April 18th, 2024. No foul play was suspected in her death.
While I didn’t listen to much of her music, I was still shocked by her sudden death– as I am sure so many others were.
It’s got me thinking… the Lord can take us at any time. I have held on to grudges, cried over “small” things, and gotten afraid of things way too easily.
Jesus wants to know our ups and downs. He cares about the big things and the small things. Yet, I wonder, what will matter when I see Him face to face?
Will that tiff I had with a friend matter?
Will my new car or house matter?
Will the fact that a waiter got my food order wrong, matter?
Today, in light of Mandisa’s death, I choose to fix my gaze toward heaven. I could go at any time, and I want to get to know the God I serve more.
I am sure Mandisa would want her fans to do nothing else.
With Love,
Annalee
