October 3, 2009, Sara Eutsler Sledge stands complete before the One she loved the most! And those of us, the hundreds and thousands of us, who knew her, have no doubt what He said to her: "Well done, My good and faithful servant! Enter into the Joy of your Lord!" And she did!
I stand with the the many lives that are praising God for your life, Aunt Sara. Thank you so much. And I hope to see you soon!
We will miss you, Aunt Sara. Though we know Ambassador Camp has always belonged to the Lord, it will still never be the same without you. We wait with eager anticipation to see what God has in mind for those beloved grounds, but we will still miss you! There is no one who can ever take your place.
The following prayer is one that I can imagine Aunt Sara praying, and God has certainly answered the prayer tonight! She was drawn from this world and awoke in His likeness!
Retrospect and Prospect
Supreme Ruler of the visible and invisible worlds, my heart is drawn out to Thee for Thy amazing grace and condescension.
Thou hast kept my conversion fresh before me, that season of my first spiritual comfort when I passed through the Red Sea by a way I did not expect.
I rejoiced then for that unthought-of-passage, that delivered me from the fear of the Egyptian when I had almost despaired of life.
I rejoice now as these things are fresh and lively in my mind; my soul melts when I think of Thy days of old with me, when a poor worthless creature without wisdom to direct or strength to help myself was laid under the happy necessity of living upon Thee and finding Thy consolations large.
Thy art my divine treasure in whom all fullness dwells; my life, hope, joy, peace, glory, my end.
May I be daily more and more conformed to Thee, with the meekness and calmness of the Lamb in my soul, and a feeling sense of the felicity of heaven, where I long to join angels free from imperfections, where in me the image of my adored Saviour will be completely restored, so that I may be fit for His enjoyments and employments.
I am not afraid to look the king of terrors in the face, for I know I shall be drawn, not driven, out of this world.
Until then, let me continually glow and burn out for Thee, and when the last great change shall come, let me awake in Thy likeness, leaving behind me an example that will glorify Thee while my spirit rejoices in heaven, and my memory is blessed on earth, with those who follow me praising Thee for my life.
