Today I was reading one of the verse via email that I receive from Back to the Bible. In it a young man spoke about his recent return to church. It's incredible how this man and I have the same thoughts and feelings, even though we have different experiences. He wrote today about his anger problem and how God helped him to overcome it by just asking - and receiving God's grace to overcome it. Actually, that is exactly what God's grace is, the God-given ability to do what is difficult, but necessary for us to do.
He came into the church, and while the other congregants prayed, he read the Bible. He saw the phrase "unending grace" in the Bible and knowing that this was a part of God's word and His desire to give him not just grace, but unending grace opened up the well of unshed tears inside of him. He cried and cried uncontrollably, even after the prayer service ended.
This reminds me so much of a similar experience a month or two ago. After I had received prayer at a midday deliverance service, I went back to my seat. But the Holy Spirit just took over. Next thing I knew, I was shaking and crying uncontrollably. A friend of mine came and prayed for me and with me. I knew deep inside that the Lord was healing me emotionally and spiritually. I also believed that that healing precipitated the healing of my liver.
To those who are hurting from rape, abuse of any kind, those who are ill, sad, suicidal, guilt-ridden and shame-filled, God is able to heal to restore health to you and to heal your wounds. One thing that I read in another email thought by another writer in BTTB is that we are Sought After by God. He loved us so much that He sent His son to die for us. And what's even better, Jesus loved us so much that He willingly went to the cross for us, in our place. And guess what? When the Holy Spirit makes us cry, it is a healing weeping. Let God make you cry today!
"I will restore health unto you, and I will heal their wounds, said the Lord.." Jeremiah 30:17 (KJV)
