Today is not a day to morn but to rejoice in the Lord for he has set a table for Kyle in the Highest of High. Kyle has gone to be with God and is no longer bound by earthly things which you and I are confined to. He walks and runs for the first time since his injury in 1979 where he became bound by a wheelchair, bound by flesh but not by spirit. Let us be thankful for the inspiration Kyle has been, especially to his family. Kyle, like all of us, was only here for a short time but we must not forget that even though he couldn't do some of the things we are able to do after his injury, he has, and will continue to be a tremendous impact to us all.
God had an assignment for Kyle to witness to us through his perseverance and determination under adverse circumstances. This assignment has a message of faith which displays that no matter what the situation God has a plan for us. You only have to think of all those that have been touched by his courage and determination to understand. Think of all of the testimony that has and will be a blessing for those who think their situation is hopeless. All we need to do is speak of Kyle and his life, think of his strength, witness to those in need, and Kyle's blessing to us all will live. Our assignment is not to forget his story about life and offer hope to others using Kyle as our inspiration.
As I had mentioned in an earlier writing, there are men and women who spent their lives to help Kyle since the accident and have been assisting Kyle in his assignment all along. They have been a blessing already to so many for the time they have committed to Kyle's journey and should be our example and witness of Kyle's story to help others. This was Kyle's assignment by God to inspire us all to not give up but to believe and spread the word that there is a table set for us all in the Kingdom where we will see Kyle again. Therefore, we lift Kyle and his life up as a testimony to all those who thirst for the Word and Saving Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
