I’m sure you all know someone who has said, “I give up, I just can’t do it anymore.” or “Lord, take me now, I’m ready.” When you hear someone you love say those words it has a very potent impact.
When June says it, I feel torn between, “Yeah, I get it” and “No, keep fighting.” Then I think about is it selfish of me to disregard her pain and suffering and ask her to put more into the fight… or is it selfish of me to let her go without fighting for her?!
She has her moments… Moments where she is the strongest person I know for all the BS she is going through. Moments when we both pray for mercy because she can handle no more.
When is enough truly enough? When is it appropriate for her to want to end the suffering? When is it appropriate for me to ask her for one more day?
