His Grace is Sufficient
written by: Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations
Whatever situation I may be facing today, I know in my heart that God’s GRACE is sufficient! In all my weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. I have learned to rely upon the Lord…”For when I am weak, HE is strong”. It’s in Christ I find my Hope, my strength and the Grace to face another day.
So when your world is crumbling apart and you just can’t go on, remember…God’s Word says…
“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. (2 Corinthians 12:9)
Our God is so very faithful and His promises are true!! So whatever your situation, give it to the Lord and then just simply trust Him. After-all He desires His best for you and yes…He will make a way!
Remember, Almighty God is the only one that can satisfy a weary soul! So when you are tempted to worry and fret…Look to the author and finisher of your faith! Jesus sees you. HE knows you. HE loves you!!!
May you be blessed by this beautiful song….

Bless the Broken Road
written by: Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations
Yes, the road I have traveled in life has been filled with potholes, but each hardship has made me who I am today! Oh, I may look a little bruised and battered and I may even be facing more hardships in life, but yet I am compelled by the Holy Spirit to finish the work before me that the Lord has called me to do!
I am committed to serving the Lord at whatever cost. I look to the Spirit of the Lord to work in me and through me, putting absolutely no confidence in my tattered flesh! You see…God is in charge of my life through the Holy Spirit that dwells within me. I am no longer a hostage to changing circumstances, riding the ups and downs of emotions….for The jOy of the Lord is my strength of my Life!! I have found as I have yielded to the ways of the Lord, I am more alert to the needs of others around me and love to minister to those who are bruised and hurting. I absolutely refuse to be consumed by my own problems, but seek the Lord in how to share His love and encouraging words with others. Oh yes, I must still deal with my own personal trials and ordeals in my daily life, but I solely rely upon a Holy God, for in Him I have found Freedom, Liberty, and a new devotion to continue His work while on earth! Even in the midst of brokenness, I have a deep compelling desire to walk in a greater intimacy with Christ! Yes see, The Lord has faithfully given me a gift of His strength for my weakness, His Hope, for my despair, and brings relief with His healing hand. He heals my broken heart and binds up my wounds. His sweet presence is ever so near.
Therefore, I MUST finish the race, reflect the Love of Christ and share the powerful life changing Truth of God’s Saving Grace!! Oh God, Bless this Broken Road! ~ San, Healing Rain to the Nations
…However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.. Acts 20:24

His Grace Is Sufficient For Me
Facing the Storm
written by: Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations
Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Psalm 139:23-24
True faith has to be tested and refined as silver & gold…
In the midst of a howling sea of sorrow, pain, loneliness & despair, powerful waves well up to overtake me! In a distance I hear a voice calling my name! I struggle in the swift currents to take a hold of a hand reaching out for mine! As it seems I’m going under for one last time, suddenly I feel a hand firmly grasping hold of my arm, lifting me out of the angry sea and drawing me up to new heights. With the touch of His hand my soul senses a powerful love flowing, as my feet are set on a solid rock! This magnificent love enables me to stand unwavering on a mountain of Faith! As I stand gazing beyond my present stormy sea, my joy is restored, my strength is renewed and the determination to overcome wells up within my soul! For Christ alone is my Salvation, My Hope of Eternity! …And Once again I realize God has allowed my faith to be tested & refined! And once again I find HE is so very faithful!! All Glory to His Name!
Here are some thoughts to ponder: “The stronger the battle , the greater the resistance, the bigger the muscle”! Therefore we should not oppose trials, but embrace them! For we have a promise that not a hair on our head will be burned, nor the waves will overtake us! (Isaiah 43) Boldly we will emerge from the fire brilliantly glowing…as a pure reflection of His heart!
Praise You In This Storm – Casting Crowns – with Lyrics
Come As You Are
To all who are broken hearted and hurting, lift up your face towards Heaven!! I challenge you to listen to this beautiful, powerful song. As you sit quietly, listen to the words, allowing them to penetrate deep into your heart…..
Absolutely nothing is hidden from Christ. You see, God knows if you are ripped and ragged, lonely or shamed, yet HE loves you with an everlasting love and desires His best for you!! So stop running away from Him! Stop trying to figure things out on your own…Look Up my Friend!! No matter how dark your world may seem or what circumstances you may be facing, no matter how shattered and broken you may be – HOPE can be found in Christ alone!
Be still and listen…Hear the Spirit of the Lord beckoning you…”Lay down your burdens, lay down your shame…All who are broken…Lay down your hurt, lay down your heart, and COME as you are!”
You will find Christ Jesus is quick to forgive and restore, His Grace is so sufficient! You see, He knows all about you and yet you are chosen. He has a most perfect divine plan for your life! So lift up your face …Oh weary wanderer COME HOME!! Jesus is knocking at your hearts door, so come… surrender your life…FALL into His open arms! “Lay down your burden, lay down your hurt, lay down your heart….Come As You Are! Earth has no sorrow that Heaven can’t heal.”

I Look to YOU
Written by: Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations
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!
