When people are suffering loss some days are harder than others. Life is happening around us so fast both good and bad things, adding to the load we automatically carry around with us. Let us just stop and take a long slow breath and remember that we are not alone in this world, but that there are people who are caring and loving,looking for the chance to be kind just because they love Jesus. There are people praying for us right now asking God to heal us from a broken heart.
We are not God’s children because everything is going right in our lives, we belong to God because he first loved us and chose us to be part of his family. This means in our darkest days we are still as valuable to him as when we are celebrating our successes. Our sadness matters to him because we belong to him. Yesterday I was having one of those hard days when I realized I had difficult choices to make in the next few days, and I simply did not know what I should do.
I made a phone call to a friend and she told me she had a tape she would like me to hear. It was a testimony of a man who had experienced God’s healing power in his life, but also had a death experience in which he visited Heaven. He also found out what it is like to experience hell. This man is a local Pastor in our area, and so yesterday I took that long slow breath to give myself much needed time, in which I made the decision to listen to one man’s story of healing and fresh Hope.
What I heard did amaze me and it came from an ordinary man who knew his God, and as I listened, his words settled in my spirit, and it witnessed to me as absolute truth. I found refreshment for my soul, my sore throat and depression eased, as he was speaking fresh Hope to me by the way of the spirit of God.
We hear so much every day of things that bring death, and not life to our spirits, and we are affected by those words or deeds. Our Heavenly Father knows this and so when we reach out to him he helps us in our weaknesses. In Romans Chpt 8 verse 26 it says” And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for, but the Holy Spirit prays for us with groaning that can not be expressed in words” Ask God today to give you fresh hope, and because you belong to him, and he loves you, wait and watch, the God of all hope will not disappoint you
