For me, February 18 each year begins a season of thankfulness for Life and for the undeserved grace of God I was blessed to experience. When I was 17 I came so close to death-and in many ways was reborn-this February day. In an instant, my every physical, cognitive, emotional and relational competency was lost. I was cradled in my Creator's hands as I began the long road to healing.
God's gracious gifts of hope and faith, along with a deepened friendship with Jesus, carried me through dark times over the following months and years (Jn. 15:15, Ro. 5:3-5). Praise, praise, praise God for His healing power and the second chance at life I was given; may I live every second of this life for His glory! My friends, BELIEVE in, RELY on His grace, His mercy, His love, His healing, His redemption!! His plan is often not what we think is best for us, yet He - Always - Is - Faithful. He has crafted a story for Every single person, and though this story is beyond our understanding, it also exceeds our greatest expectations (Is 55:6-12; Phil. 1:6, Eph. 3:14-21).
Wouldn't it be wonderful if God brought me back from the brink of death all for the purpose of revealing His Truth to YOU? Trust in His great plan, dear friend! Turn to Him, He is gracious to forgive and desires to bring wholeness and healing to the broken places in your heart!! I IN NO WAY REGRET the season of pain I endured; if only through my pain some may know Christ.
