Until Completion
Today, my cousin Jesse’s wife and children were able to take him outside… Wow! The Lord isn’t letting up until completion! Rest assured, your prayers are healing a little more each day. Thank you for praying!!! And thank you, Jesus, for the gift of life and miracles!
Sometimes we will stew for hours and days wondering what God is trying to show us through tragedies like this, and quite possibly we may go this entire lifetime not knowing until we meet with Him one day. But this weekend, one of my pastors reminded me of this truth: God is working for the good… His good. Not for our good, our comfort, our finances, or happiness. He works through sickness if that brings us closer to Him. He works through hardship if that causes us to hold on to Him even closer. God will use these challenges and sufferings to do the things we cannot do on our own. That’s when He is most glorified; not by our strength but by His alone.
Today is exactly 1 month from the day my cousin was in a ‘tragic’ accident. Two neurosurgeons said Jesse wouldn’t live; his injuries to the brain stem were too severe. I flew home to be with my family as we faced a difficult decision to take him off ventilation. Today, my cousin took his first steps in therapy. If you have been looking for God to do a miracle on this earth… a sign that He’s the Living God, here is one. I’m so thankful many of you played a part in praying for the Lord to show up with healing. And in that, I hope your faith has been strengthened as you joined me to witness the powerful hand of our Magnificent God Almighty! Thank you, friends and family… And a very merciful, loving Father in Heaven.
Amen!
