My heart is overflowing
with Praise
to the Lord
who has granted to me
a good report for the biopsies:
All are benign, Praise HIM!
But at the same time, my body
is not fully healed yet.
The Chronic Illness remains.
And my heart aches for friends of mine
in deep trials:
the friend whose son is newly diagnosed with cancer,
the friend whose children face court battles,
the friend whose own life hangs in the balance
with a terminal illness
and so many others . . .
Where is God in the midst of our questions?
Where is He in the midst of our longings?
He is still Good, and HE still has blessings
to pour on us,
wherever we find ourselves walking.
He never leaves us alone
to face the trials,
He walks with us through
every step.
And His Grace is sufficient,
for
HE, Himself, is our blessing.
Thank you to a dear friend who blessed me with this song,
I pray it blesses you as well:
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.
For I am the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;"
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;"
