Had a visit to the doctor last Friday. The underlying problem is a long standing one, but it is getting worse. I may need to have more surgery which may not work or might make things worse. And on top of that I also have breathing problems related to my condition.
All in all a situation for worry and tears and what ever else.
Not so! It is for me a time of faith and rest in God. I know that many, many people are praying for me. I know that God is good and that He loves me.
So when I am in pain at night and sing songs speaking of the goodness of God, my faith is lifted, my spirit and heart rejoice in Him.
The apostle Paul and many others found this, I know I am finding it. Contentment with joy, no matter what the circumstances.
God is good to me,
O what love I see,
Jesus as a Lamb was slain.
He delivered me,
Cleansed and set me free,
Lord of all, He rose again.
Now I live,
Yet not I,
Jesus is alive in me.
Sending the Spirit’s flame,
Showers of latter rain,
God has poured His love on me.
My times are in His hands, I can rest secure no matter what happens.
Blessings to you all
