James Hewett tells the story of a little girl who was only nine years old when she came down with leukemia. And this was back in the day when leukemia was often a death sentence. The little girl was given six months to live.
As the time grew near, somehow she knew, but she wasn’t afraid. Her faith in Jesus gave her an attitude of victory. She talked freely about her death. And as she grew weaker, her joy became more radiant.
On the day before she sank into a final coma she told her family, “I am going to be the first to see Jesus! What would you like me to tell Him for you?”
