when i first heard the news yesterday of the car crash that killed david wilkerson...memories flooded over me of the countless times his book & daily devotionals touched my life...
he was a true man of God...
one of my earliest memories was reading his book "the cross and the switchblade" i would read that book over and over and over...my favorite line was..."you could cut me up into a thousand pieces and lay them in the street...and every piece will still love you (nicky cruz) - david wilkerson
that book/movie had such an impact on my life...and as i got older i learned more about teen challenge...which he founded...in recent years...his daily devotional and blog was one i often would read...
here is a portion of his post from yesterday...written the day he walked into the arms of Jesus...
"To those going through the valley and shadow of death, hear this word: Weeping will last through some dark, awful nights, and in that darkness you will soon hear the Father whisper, "I am with you,'" Wilkerson wrote. "Beloved, God has never failed to act but in goodness and love. When all means fail-his love prevails. Hold fast to your faith. Stand fast in his Word. There is no other hope in this world."
he always encouraged...always...if you would like to read the full post...here it is..."when all means fail"
continue to pray for his wife, gwen...who was also in the car...and is currently in the hospital...
i can hear the Father saying..."welcome home son...you've done good!"
