I am thankful for healing.
The healing that only God can bring. Don’t lose heart.
It has taken almost 18 years but a reconnect has happened.
My brother passed away 18 years ago today. It was probably the worst heartbreak of my life. My parents buried their first child. My nieces and nephew buried a father. I lost my Bubba. God has sustained me these years. I had the privilege to talk with him and pray with him the night before he passed away. So my heart was always at peace I would see him again. The part of my heart that hurt was for his children. I have prayed for them and this weekend I was able to spend with two of his children and grandchildren. I saw a joy in my mom that has been missing. I saw healing flow over her. This is what happens when we wait before the Lord. I see new life in her again. I love that God made a way. There is still a son we need to heal with but he is lost and blinded but I know God will move mountains and bring that healing as well.
Today I say don’t give up. Don’t lose hope. Keep pushing forward. Keep praying. Gods got this. He loves you and He cares. There is purpose in our pain. There is promise after our losses.
Psalms 27:14
“Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!” (ESV)
