In the past month I had to deal with God revealing a lot of truth in my life with an abundance of healing to follow. Although my heart sometimes aches with pain, God has been present. A few nights ago I asked God how will I know if I’m really healing and he promised that if I never turned my eyes from him I would never have to question my healing again. A few weeks ago while I was in distress thinking about the situation I wrote this:
If I chose to worry, then I believe satans’ lies instead of Gods truth. If I believe Gods truth then I know he’s already paid the price for my transgressions. Just as I’m not supposed to have earthly confidence- neither can I have earthly shame. God chose it as my pain and made it my privilege. I used to be bruised but now I am the daughter of a King. If I count my pain as a burden then I limit Gods healing. Whatever I find sick and disheartening I will turn into my joy to suffer. I sit in expectation that he will turn it into my greatest blessing. I am void of entitlements and I don’t own a single breath. He is my portion and not just my therapy. He leads my healing and I walk blindly and faithfully. He promised that my cup would overflow but I’m drowning in his love and comfort. Forever I will rejoice in Christ who loves me enough to break me.

Amen my ‘angel’ !
First of all, I love that your grandma said Amen. I love that!
You understand the truth here too, Alison. If you believe the truths of God, and not the lies of satan, you can truly be healed so much by what the Lord can bring. So proud of you!
