A Life That Abided: Remembering Mrs. Susan George as a True Disciple of Christ
Psalm 90 begins with a profound confession: “Lord, You have been our dwelling place throughout all generations.” These words beautifully reflect the life and faith of Mrs. Susan George, whose journey with Christ was marked not by outward display, but by a quiet, steady abiding in God.
Mrs. Susan lived with a deep awareness that life on earth is fleeting, yet life in Christ is eternal. Like the psalmist, she understood that human strength fades, plans change, and years pass quickly—but God alone remains unchanging. Her hope was never anchored in temporary securities, but in the eternal faithfulness of God. This eternal perspective shaped her choices, her relationships, and her perseverance through life’s joys and trials.
Jesus’ words in John 15—“Abide in Me, and I in you”—were not merely scripture to be read, but a reality she embodied. Mrs. Susan’s discipleship was rooted in faithfulness rather than visibility. She trusted God even in moments of weakness and uncertainty, believing that His grace was sufficient. Like a branch connected to the vine, her life bore fruit quietly—through love, endurance, prayer, and service.
She also reflected the wisdom of Psalm 90: “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” Mrs. Susan lived with humility, compassion, and patience, aware that every day was a gift entrusted by God. Her faith did not deny suffering, but it refused to be defined by it. She leaned on God’s promises, confident that He completes the work He begins in His servants.
As we remember Mrs. Susan George, we give thanks for a life that points us toward true discipleship—one that abides in Christ, values the eternal, trusts God through every season, and rests in the assurance that His promises never fail. Her life continues to speak, inviting us to dwell in God and walk faithfully with Him until the end.
