Healing balm

“I, the Lord thy God will hold thy
Right hand, saying unto thee, Fear
Not.”

Isaiah 41:13

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I discuss pain a lot
Because is one of those things I know about.
As hard as it is to publicly confess it
And although many say my pain
Is not adequately
Justified,
I need to express what pain has taught me
And why we shouldn’t fear…but rather embrace it.

Obviously for us in the Faith community
The first and most important reason
Is because it is a direct command from God
Not to be fearful.
Nothing else should be said about it.
And yet…there is.

Pain has a secret…
It heals.
It points to what’s needed for completion, repair, and change.

Those of us that,
For one reason or another,
Find ourselves immersed in pain
Need to look at it straight in the eye and
Say: “ok. I acknowledge you, now show me.”

I can guarantee you
Every victory has its spoils.
When God places pain in our lives
He’s giving us a divine healing tool .
Don’t discard it, use it.

After you’ve faced the battle,
You’ll get to see the rainbow.

I know this is easier said than done.
Yet…you cannot afford not to get it done.
If you back off, in fear, you’ll miss God’s Work
In your life.
Let Him heal you through whatever means He sees fit.

TRUST in His Love.

Jan


“For every one that asketh receiveth;
And he that seeketh findeth; and to
Him that knocked it shall be opened.”

Matthew 7:8
