Love Runs Deep
When darkness surrounds you and there seems no way out, remember…God’s unfailing, unchanging love runs deep for His children!
No matter what situation you may be facing, if you take time to listen closely, you will hear the voice of Hope encouraging you. Hear His gentle voice beckoning you to simply trust in Him.
When there seems to be no way, with a child like trust, just lunge into the arm’s of Jesus. For it’s there, you will suddenly realize…”HE” is the Way, The Truth and The Life!! Then acknowledge Christ as King of your life and allow Him to direct your path. And then take Him by the hand and step into the light of His love! You will be pleasantly surprised at how He understands all your confusion. And as you learn to walk with HIM, I guarantee, Christ will make something beautiful out of your life!!
You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
(Psalm 16:11)

HE Remains Faithful
Written by: Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations
Do you feel as if your prayers are never answered? Are you finding yourself in a waiting mode? When hard times come, do you really trust in The Lord?
First of all, it’s important to realize just how much God loves you. To discover His love, the journey takes you to the foot of the old rugged Cross. For there a high price was paid for YOU! You are His most prized possession and HE holds you ever so close to His heart. Therefore, we can know He desires what’s best for His Children and yes, we can even trust Him to be on time!! For when we have accepted that Love and live a “surrendered life”, then surely we know we can trust Him with the answers to our desperate cries.
Do you realize that God gives immediate responses to your prayers? Sometimes we see the Lord’s answer right away and even though we don’t like it, sometimes the Lord’s answer is “wait”! Now I do admit, waiting does stretch our faith just a tad. But do you know the “waiting period” is really for our own good! It’s during that time when God is building our faith and when we develop a simple child-like trust in Him. I have found the waiting is well worth it, for sometimes to my surprise, God’s answer is much greater than anything I ever anticipated.
Then, that means when we face difficulties in life, we should never spend useless time worrying and fretting over an uncontrollable circumstance. For to do so, brings on more pain and sorrow, making life absolutely miserable for ourselves and others around us. And actually, this is a form of manipulating God, which can be a very dangerous thing! So instead, when trials come let us be quick to grab our Bible, look up scriptures that are dear to our heart and meditate upon God’s promises and His faithfulness to us. This is an act of Trust and that’s when we can begin thanking Him for His perfect outcome.
Here’s a good scripture to remind us that we can Trust our Lord in ALL things… “Even if we are unfaithful, HE remains faithful, For HE cannot deny who HE is.” (2 Tim 2:13)
Yes, God loves us deeply and has our best at heart! Therefore, we can rest assured that His plans and His timing are ever so perfect! And just at that chosen moment when He decides it’s time for it all to come together, no devil in hell or man on earth can keep us from what our God desires for us! As for me, I am just so thankful that God doesn’t always give me what I ask for!!
In you, Lord my God, I put my trust. (Psalm 25:1) Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you. (Psalm 9:10) I will say of the Lord, “He is My Refuge and My Fortress, My God, in whom I trust.” (Psalm 91:2) Therefore…Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to YOU I entrust my life. (Psalm 143:8)
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!

“I Will Sing”
Oh Lord, I will lift my voice and sing about your strength and rejoice in your love every morning! For YOU are so very faithful to me! It’s under Your Wing where I find refuge and safety when the seams of life begin unraveling! When my heart is breaking in all my suffering, at times I become so overwhelmed. But I know in my heart that I can run to You and find peace of mind and comfort for my soul. For there in Your loving presence I find strength for today and a bight hope for all my tomorrow’s. For O Lord, You are a Shield About Me; My Glory, and the Lifter up of My Head….My reason to SING!

“I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble”. Psalm 59:16
The Perfect Tree
Written by: Sandy Blaser, Healing Rain to the Nations
I have many beautiful memories of my Brother and I spending hours wading through the snow with a strong determination of finding the perfect Tree.
After we found just the right one, we hitched up “Trigger” our old horse, then went back to the woods and cut the Tree down and hauled it to the house on the old horses’ back.
Momma always had a big pot of steaming Hot Chocolate waiting on the old Wood Stove to warm up these two frozen kids! It was my Daddy’s job to get that Cedar Tree trimmed and into the house. Now I could never figure out how that tree could look so small out there in the woods and be so huge when we tried to get through the front door!! I’m positive that Cedar Tree grew another couple feet after we cut it!! *:o)
Daddy got the ole hand-saw and would generally cut at least 2-feet off in order to get the Tree into the house. I can still hear Daddy giggling as he looked at me and said…”Why didn’t you get a bigger one Sis”??!!

“Change”
Written by ~Sandy Blaser
To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
(Ecclesiastes 3)
Ever catch yourself thinking… ”Nothing ever stays the same”? How true! We live in a world of “Change”. The evidence of change is all around us: Spring becomes Summer … Summer becomes Fall…Fall becomes Winter…Winter becomes Spring. Nothing stays the same! New birth begins…young become aged…new becomes old…old passes away. The Weaker become stronger…the stronger become weaker, etc.
Sometimes change can be exciting or may even be downright scary at times! But, God has a purpose in all things… “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” (Romans 8:28)
Change is definitely a part of life and can be quite good! It stretches and challenges one, causing our faith to grow through trials and tribulations of life. We as Christians go through some of the greatest changes.First we are blind…now we can see; we were dead…but now alive! And in all our sinfulness, God continues to change our hearts, our attitudes, and our desires. But there is one thing we can always count on…GOD is unchangeable! HIS love is everlasting to everlasting! HIS Word and HIS Promises are “Yes & Amen”!!
So no matter how uncomfortable change may be, let us make the best of each season of our lives. Remember God has made everything beautiful in His time. Everything has its purpose, even the dark cold winter storms that bring torrential rains. Sometimes we must wait with patience for the full disclosure of God’s divine intervention. But even in those times let us learn to simply trust in Him. After all, He knows our lives from the beginning…. to the end.

Experiencing Deep Love
written by:Sandy Blaser, HRN
Over the past years I have had some very agonizing moments that just shattered my dreams to splinters. If I would have chosen to focus on those issues, I really believe I would not be alive this very moment.
As I lay crushed beneath satan’s deadly blow, I began hearing the gentle beckoning of my Saviors voice, calling me to come deeper with Him. As He drew me to His side, the world and all its cares seem to melt away. My Lord began pouring His liquid love over my deep bleeding wounds of sorrow, brokenness, pain & despair. With time, there in His healing presence I began finding release, forgiveness and restoration.
As I felt Him gently raising me up in His healing hands, I began sensing His comforting peace & His strength upholding me, enabling me to stand steadfast in Faith once again!! Then suddenly I began experiencing my joy being restored beyond all measure! And from deep within my spirit cries out…”Oh God, may this trial somehow bring Glory unto You”!
Now as I pause and look back over the deep dark chasm the Lord rescued me from, my spirit rejoices! It is there in the valley I found a powerful love that has enabled me to arise to new heights! As I stand tall on mountains of faith, I can now look beyond the peaks and the valleys into the land of promise that lies before me!
I find this journey toward Home is filled with many mountains & valleys. But no matter how rough or smooth the path may be, I will continue to shout it loud and clear, “Through Christ alone I am a victorious Over-comer”!! Oh yes, this world may be very cruel at times and no one likes to go through trials & temptations, be we have the assurance, we do not travel this way alone! So, not ‘if’ but ‘when’ there is a storm on your horizon, I pray you will quickly run to the arms of Jesus as you hear Him calling…”Come Deeper”!! For deep is His love for you!!!
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. Psalm 147:3
