In every circumstance, challenge, and ordeal that we go through this life, new revelations and learning experiences walk our path. We just have to wear the right lens of God's perspective, what He says about all these events, chartered and unchartered territories in our lives unexpected, uneventful...
My best friend was in ICU on a ventilator, in a dormant state for two months. Visitations are only for families so I was excluded. I was left in the dark that the only thing I could do was to pray for God's miracle. I do believe that God still performs miracles for "He is the same yesterday, Today and Forever."
While waiting for God's heart to move from all the prayers and fasting from hundreds of saints everywhere, there are moments when the enemy encamps my mind showering me with doubts, fear, insecurity so I may be led astray from going to church to praise and worship the Lord Jesus. The devil whispering those lies in my soul that my best friend has long been gone in the physical realm did not pull a string in my heart for I know my God, what He's able to do... But you know, when satan starts to bewilder you with accusations and try to reframe your thoughts, please know that He is the father of lies, and don't you ever forget that he is "the devil that wants to devour our lives keeping us from the joy of living in a relationship with Jesus. His plan is obviously to steal, kill, and destroy one's life. And God calls us to be alert and of sober mind, watching out for the schemes of the devil who prowls around like a lion looking for someone to make his move."
So, last week, my prayer was answered; not just mine but many of those who prayed for healing over my best friend's situation. She woke up cognizant of her surroundings and her family by her side. I may have not witnessed such an incredible move of God but it gives me overwhelming joy that I still have her to continue this friendship that God bestowed on us. She can't speak yet but I know that in God's marvelous ways of loving us, that day will come very very soon.
November is my birthday month...and it's around Thanksgiving week. My heart is full of gratitude...
May you see what I see; may you feel what I feel and may the Grace of God abounds in your life because it's only through Him that we truly live...
