With ALS, or any terminal disease, there is a great tendency to feel that our lives are over. However, when you compare the average lifespan on earth to eternity, you begin to realize that the time we spend on earth (even if you live to 100) is less than a raindrop in proportion to all the oceans.
God has prepared a place for each of us at his table. This place setting is so rich in love and endless happiness, that His son paid with His life to enable us to experience it. This is pretty amazing evidence that what God has in store for each of us is so incredible that we cannot comprehend the joy.
Therfore, don't fix your eyes on the end of this life. Gaze upon the endless happiness that awaits you in communion with God. The purpose for our lives on earth is to take up our cross and follow the example of Jesus. The reward is infinately worth our struggle.
Tomorrow morning, when you wake up; say good morning to Jesus and thank Him for His sacrifice. Then, offer your struggle with ALS to him as your desire to help him carry the cross. Jesus answers every prayer and wants to have a conversation with you. If you don't believe in Jesus, try it anyway for a month. You might be surprised what happens.
