I can so identify with the words to the song…” I Look to You” (see link below)
Being born with a birth defect, and a young age being diagnosed with a crippling disease, I have fought a struggle my entire life, feeling that I don’t quiet measure up to others. But over the years filled with silent pain and sorrow, I’ve learned to turn it all over to God and simply trust Him, believing He does not make mistakes. Through it all I have learned to wait upon the Lord, knowing He will faithfully see me through all the struggles I may face in life.
No, life has never been easy, but I have more blessed hope than ever before that God will somehow be glorified through it all! At the dawn of each new morning, I continue to press on into the heart of my Heavenly Father, taking one day at a time. I have learned to accept myself just as I am. I surrender all my flaws & my infirmities, my health, my family, all into the hands of My Almighty Creator. I have pushed past all the hurts & disappointments of life as my heart overflows with a love and adoration for my Lord! Oh yes, I will always learn from my past, but with a strong determination I will continue to look ahead to the Author & Finisher of my faith, pressing onward to be the Servant He has chosen me to be!
For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.
Yes…Even in the midst of the Storm!! (2 Tim 1:7)
I pray the words I share here on Healing Rain to the Nations continue to give you encouragement and a strong determination to keep pressing onward! I’ve posted below a beautiful song by Selah that pretty well describes my journey. I hope this song blesses you as much as it does me. Remember…You are Loved!
