Healing is a funny thing. I have been praying for healing for a long time now. I have a chronic illness that I would be more than happy if it was healed, but the thing that has been plaguing me for over a year has been a broken heart. It's not an uncommon thing when a relationship is severed. I just hadn't ever really experienced such a thing. I have been fighting for awhile now to be healed of this hurt. I have known that the Lord is faithful. I have seen Him provide over and over again, but I thought this might be an exception and I was just going to have to deal with it. This past week I saw the Lord move in a spectacular way as He mended my heart and granted me peace. I am overjoyed. God showed me His faithfulness and probably the coolest part is that He allowed me to look back over the past year and a half or so and see how He held me through that time. He brought me to a place where I was really submitted wholly to Him and took away every last bit of the lingering pain and expectation. So beautiful. It was really neat too because the message at church today was about Deuteronomy 6 and the call to love the Lord your God with all of you. I was able to see where I had gone wrong and how I ought to love my Jesus far above all else. God is so good to us. It's baffling that some people think He's all about rules. Oh how I long for them to know Him intimately. We are so blessed.
