“Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?’ She said to him, ‘Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world.’” (John 11:25-27 ESV)
*It seems of late that the Lord is prompting me to use more articles of others whose lives and words continue to inspire and encourage me. Though I’ve never met Ray Majoran, nor do I know Kannamma, I can’t wait to meet them and spend time together in heaven. Prayerfully enjoy this beautiful tribute and Ray’s prayer. Blessings, Ed 😊
Yesterday morning (02-05-25), our dear sister Kannamma — a widow that we care for through Advocacy Global — went to be with the Lord. Though her earthly journey was marked by hardship, abandonment, and physical challenges, her spiritual journey was one of strength, redemption, and faith. She was once a woman who thought no one cared for her, yet through the love of Jesus, she discovered the truth — that she was deeply loved, cherished, and never alone.
Kannamma grew up in a world where she was often seen as a burden. Her own family walked away because of her disability, leaving her to survive in a small, fragile home. But despite the rejection, God never left her side. When she encountered the Gospel, she found the One who truly sees, the One who never abandons, and the One who gives eternal hope — Jesus Christ.
She embraced Christ, was baptized, and despite the difficulty of walking, she faithfully attended gatherings, eager to worship and grow in the Word. She persevered through pain and isolation, demonstrating a faith that was stronger than her circumstances. She lived as a testimony of God’s power to heal not just bodies, but souls, and to bring light into the darkest corners of life.
Kannamma’s story is not one of loss, but of victory. The world may have cast her aside, but in God’s kingdom, she was always precious. She has now entered into the fullness of His love, free from suffering, standing strong in the presence of the Savior who carried her through every storm.
As we grieve her passing, we also rejoice in her new life. May her story remind us that no one is forgotten in God’s eyes, and that His love can redeem even the most broken hearts.
“Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.” — Psalm 116:15
Kannamma, you are home now. You are loved. You are whole.
Ray’s Prayer
Gracious and Everlasting God, You are the One who gives life, the One who calls us out of darkness and into the light of Your presence. You see what the world overlooks. You redeem what others cast away. You hold the broken and lift up the weary. In Your kindness, You welcomed Kannamma into Your eternal embrace, not as a stranger, but as Your beloved. Her body, once frail, is now whole. Her sorrow has turned to joy. What once was abandoned has been restored — because You are the God who never forsakes (Deuteronomy 31:8).
Let us not waste the breath You’ve given us, living as if this world is our home. Break our comfort if it keeps us complacent. Shake us if we settle for less than the righteousness You call us to hunger for (Matthew 5:6). Open our eyes to those like Kannamma — those unseen, unloved, forgotten — because to ignore them is to ignore You (Matthew 25:40). Give us the courage to pour out the love we claim to believe in. May our faith be more than words, our compassion more than sentiment, our obedience more than convenience.
You are our dwelling place. You are our hope beyond the grave. And because of You, death does not have the final word.
One Question
If my life ended today, would I be ready to meet Jesus?
