AND THIS TOO........
And this too........is GOD'S mercy, HIS loving presence when we need it most. It is quiet and it is gentle. And I look for it now, in doctor's offices and waiting rooms.
Like you, I need peace of heart and mind. Because......my mind races with the "what ifs?" That is what a cancer diagnosis will do to you, no matter how strong your faith is. There is this mind torture with each scan and each test. Where is your faith you say? And I say when I am weak in heart and mind, I need JESUS most. And HE comes to me with HIS loving arms in those doctor offices and waiting rooms. HE holds my hand as I wait for the results.
PSALM 51: 12 "RESTORE THE JOY OF YOUR SALVATION TO ME, AND SUSTAIN ME BY GIVING ME A WILLING SPIRIT."
Am I willing to accept all that HE sends me, disease or not? HIS path is certain and my fear can sometimes overwhelm me. But I am certain of HIS mercy and I am certain of HIS love for me. HIS presence reveals my weakness and how much I need the Savior's hand. David's plea was for GOD'S presence too, so I know I am not alone in asking for this.
I NEED YOU LORD, NEED TO KNOW YOU ARE THERE.......
And so, HE covers our sin, mine and yours. And how do we know this? By HIS beautiful presence, a presence that is known by our need, the need for the MESSIAH, JESUS CHRIST. It is a need for HIS endless grace and HIS boundless mercy.
Thank you LORD for who YOU are and we thank you LORD that we are YOUR forgiven children. Come to us today and let us know YOUR true presence........
PSALM 139: 7 "WHERE CAN I GO TO ESCAPE YOUR SPIRIT? WHERE CAN I FLEE FROM YOUR PRESENCE?"
