I KNOW, Without A Shadow of A Doubt, That Justin Was Heaven Sent!

Man! Truly wish I knew Justin more closely. I regret not taking enough time out to soak up how wonderfully unique of a person he truly was. With that said, I definitely LOVE and RESPECT GREATLY what I know about Justin! Not only through the limited moments I've had with him, but more so through the RESOUNDING testimonies everyone has uttered. I have NEVER known or heard of any one negative thing about Justin! He was truly the RAREST of us! I have never seen him sullen, blaming the world, or even God for his undeserving and tragic circumstance. He's always tried to muster up a smile or friendly gesture, even when you knew he had to be suffering inside. How many of us would have the wherewithal or understanding to still be SO SELFLESS in the midst of such a continuous, fluctuating, and agonizing ordeal? Very few to none of us, I'm sure!

The way he lived his life, endured such pain, and impacted our lives speaks volumes for how touched he really was by God! To never have cursed God due to his dire circumstance, not even one bit, but instead stand firmly in the complete opposite manner and stick to the mantra "it isn't about me"-is wondrous and awestrikingly mind-boggling.

I truly pray that God favors me enough to grant me an ounce of Justin's persevering, evangelical and upbeat spirit when dealing with the much lesser evils I face.

I KNOW, without a shadow of a doubt that Justin was "heaven sent!" God BLESSED us with him! He allowed him to come and convincingly display to us how it is to truly "LIVE FOR CHRIST" regardless of our circumstance, in the most UNPARALLELED of ways!

To the Izlar family, you all are already near and dear to me, and Justin's Homegoing will indeed only bring us closer! You are fervently and consistently in my prayers both individually and collectively. I will not cease in praying for you!! You have my deepest empathy, and however I can assist you, I most certainly will!

Rest Well Justin!
