“I heard about His healing

Of His cleansing power revealing,

How He made the lame to walk again

And caused the blind to see.

And then I cried, “Dear Jesus,

Come and heal my broken spirit.”

And somehow Jesus came and brought

To me the victory…”

I don’t always take hold of the victorious life He has promised, but somehow He still gives it freely.  As we sang this verse, I was struck by how blessed I am to have not only heard about His healing, but to have witnessed it firsthand!  I have struggled to understand many things about this crazy life over the past couple of years, and I still can’t make sense of most of it.  But I know God gave me Harper for a reason.  He has used her precious life to remind me of Who is in control… To restore my faith, show me the meaning of hope, and to heal my broken spirit.  I still don’t understand all the what’s and why’s, but I’ve been reminded of the Who.  And as I lay down tonight with a head full of thoughts and a heart full of emotions, I pray that I find rest in that Who, that I claim the victory He has promised, and that I never cease to give Him praise.
