Slow Healing Process
May 15, 2014

Read: Revelation 21:1-8

God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. . . . There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away. —Revelation 21:4

Bible in a Year:
2 Kings 22-23; John 4:31-54

Just 4 weeks after our son Mark joined the US Army, he injured his knee seriously in a training exercise. As a result, he was released from the military. So, at age 19, he had to use a cane to get around for a while; and because of the severity of the injury he endured 2 years of recovery, rest, and rehab. Finally, Mark was able to set aside the knee braces he had worn since the accident. Although he still experiences residual pain, the long, slow healing process has brought him back to full use of his leg.

Physical healing is often much slower than we anticipate. This is true of spiritual healing as well. The consequences of unwise choices or the actions of hurtful people can create burdens or wounds that endure for a lifetime. But for the child of God, there is hope. Although full restoration is not always experienced in this life, the promise of healing is sure. The apostle John wrote, “God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away” (Rev. 21:4).

In our seasons of pain, it is comforting to know that eventually, in His awesome presence, we will be whole forever.

Father, I thank You that in all of our pains and
struggles we can find comfort in You. Help us to
bring all our hurts to You—both spiritual and
physical—and to trust that You will make us whole.

When we come to Christ in our brokenness, He makes us whole.

Insight

What will characterize the promised eternal state of the follower of Christ? In verse 5 of our text, God declares from His throne, “Behold, I make all things new.” This includes a new heaven and a new earth (v.1), a new Jerusalem (v.2), a new way of interacting with God (vv.3-4), and so much more.

Hi Amy!

I am grateful that I remember how to operate my recording studio, which is 13 year old technology, and which i haven’t touched in two years!

Got five new songs in the can and ready for more! LOL!

Hallelujah.

Lynn-Dah was featured in a Video by the Management Company of my apartment complex!

I thought they wanted ME, but they wanted Lynn-Dah!

Just like Norma Desmond and her car.

And I was SO ready for my close-up!

[JustAmy]

LOL

Sounds great, LTOS. Is Lynn-Dah getting a stand-in to do her dangerous stunts?

You and Lynn-Dah have a wonderful Thursday.

No, but her facial scar has “furred over” and she looked extremely pretty for her close-ups.

She does her own stunts! LOL!
