Mr Clifford said Jade Goody had told him (in respect of her children): "I want them to try to get to know Jesus because if they get to know Jesus, hopefully they'll be able to keep in touch in the future." BBC comment here.
The word is she has repented and accepted Jesus as Lord and her saviour. That's enough (click). If it is the case. She is apparently reading her bible daily.
The most important thing she can do at this time is talk to Jesus. God bless little Jade who (if it is the Lord's decision that she leaves this world) will be incomparibly above and beyond her pointless critics ere long, which will leave them feeling exposed for their pointless judgementalism and very silly indeed.
I hope she can relax and enjoy the love of God at this time.
I see Jade and Jack as two very young people who made some real mistakes, as so many young people do, who've been hit by a huge tragedy, which they've handled with simplicity and dignity.
The wedding and the request that her children get to know the Lord appears to be a gesture towards the Lord on Jade's part.
Jade has highlighted her cancer situation with humility, dignity and care, and helped millions of women. Her simple self effacement has brought the specific cancer problem out into the open 'the Jade effect' and she's raised awareness.
Jack Straw should show compassion and reason more often.
This morning we prayed for a lady with cancer in our Church. There was a specific word for her to come forward and be prayed for. It was a beautiful service, the Lord communicating the healing nature of his Holy Spirit.
I haven't forgotten previous posting promises but have been very busy :-)
In respect of Jade's comment, the bible forbids all attempts to communicate directly with those who have passed on, but there is everything good about asking the children get to know Jesus so that she and they may meet up again in heaven one day. (I personally can't see anything wrong with asking Jesus to take a message or a word to anyone who you believe is in heaven, but this must obviously go through prayer to Jesus specifically.)
Jade is also reported to have said ' I want my children to get to know Jesus so they will know their Mummy is in heaven.'
