Sitting by the by-way and high-way of life, a woman was so saddened by her life's difficult challenges. She wants to end it all; no more desire to live. Hope seems to fade away. Sulky, silent, dull and sad facial expression until a stranger stopped long enough to ask how she was doing. He was interested in hearing her story.
After a while, she began to open up and there come all the pain, disappointment, hurt and illness sprung forth. It was easier to die than to live. What if it was not your time to go yet, and God was not ready to take you home yet? What if there is still much to live for? Do you have faith in God? Do you want to live and die healthy instead of being depressed all the time? Where is the pain?
She finally realized it is her choice to have a better quality of life. She has the control of her thoughts, of what she has allowed to come through her mind each moment. As she realized for the first time that she can change her feelings, how bad she feels when she changed her thoughts, what she feeds her mind. She feels better already.
After she began to believe that there is hope for her, that she can change if she wants to and the simple prayer over her, she prayed over herself and noticed the pain also left her body. She stood up and walked around back and forth a few times, and checked again. The pain was gone. It was just here a moment earlier, but by the power and grace of God and her little faith she had, the pain left her body. She praised the Lord and went on her way.
The by-way and high-way of life is full of people who can still take back the control of their lives when they learn to put their faith and trust in God and in the healing power of Jesus Christ. God is still seeking for people of faith to operate life-changing attitude and healing. He still heals today. Do you believe that God can heal you now? Yes I do. And so the healing happens according to her faith and trust in God.
God is good.
