"My Hope is in You."

When I hear this song, and watch the video, I remember my cries to God when my husband was fighting for his life with cancer.

You never know the end of a life or death situation. God holds it in His hands, and hears all our prayers. All we have is this hope in God, who has a purpose for life given, and taken away. I know where I’m going if God were to take me, or my daughters. I wasn’t sure at all for my husband. You’re never ready to lose anyone anyway, but the only peace is knowing that one day you will see your loved ones again, if they put their faith, hope, and trust in Jesus Christ as Lord of their life, and Savior who died for our sins.

For a little over a year, my life was going back and forth from work, to him being in and out of the hospital. I remember my prayers were for his physical healing, because of course I wasn’t ready to be alone. God understood my cries, and I felt Him every day.  He brought me to a beautiful place with Him in prayer. “ A peace that passes All understanding.” John 14:27 “Peace I leave you.”

My prayers changed, I was praying “God please wait, not yet, I don’t know if He’s yours.” I was waiting on God to do something, some hope, Romans 5:1-5. God was waiting on me too. A simple, but yet, so hard prayer to pray, “Your will be done.” It wasn’t about me, and what I wanted. It was about God, and He is not willing to lose not one.

Peace, or things being “well with your soul” doesn’t come from what’s going on around you, it’s from Who’s in you. Things in your life can change at any minute, but God doesn’t. He’s a peace that nothing can take from you. Peace in Jesus, who is constant no matter what changes.

Our lives aren’t in the hands of a doctor or surgeon. It’s in the hands of our Savior Jesus Christ.

When you make peace with God, the worst can happen, but the best remains. THIS IS ROCK SOLID PEACE.

My husband is healed 2 years now, a miraculous healing. Nothing is too hard for God, and I consider it a blessing to have been able to see what He can do. Genesis 18:14… Luke 1:37. I am so thankful to God for showing His power over anything,  and for second chances.

My husband now comes to church with us as a family. This is where my husband’s life truly begins.

Now the peace that passes understanding “is my song.”

My hope is that we just don’t know of Jesus, but that you give Him your heart.

Grace and peace to you
