In my last post I wrote about a little 2-and-a-half year-old girl called J who had fitted and was rushed to hospital. After some tests she was diagnosed with epilepsy. An MRI was scheduled by medical experts to determine the extent of the problem.
The scan was conducted Thursday 6th September and results were waited for …
My friend who had sought prayer for her daughter and had subsequently asked Jesus into her heart on the foot path outside the kindy, had felt great peace throughout the testing and waiting process … a peace very uncharacteristic of her she said …
At kindy drop off last Wednesday she said she had to speak with me.
We sat down in the foyer and she proceeded to tell me that the results had been received by post the day before. She had opened the report and it said that there was nothing to be found … Her daughter J was completely normal …
Praise God!
She subsequently sent me a confirming email which read:
A little note to let you know that J got her results back from her MRI and there was nothing to be found….all normal 🙂
Had I not listened to God on a cold blustery day and stopped, risking ridicule and rejection, and prayed for a cold to leave my friend, she would not have encountered a living God who knew she would need Him to heal her daughter of epilepsy and give her life to a month or so later … a seemingly insignificant encounter led to a life and destiny changing one …
This is told not to “blow my own horn.” This story is told, as all my stories are to say … if me … then why not you?
I am so very ordinary … I am an ordinary mum loved by an extraordinary God … who “so loves the world that He gave His one and only son … That whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life …” (John 3:16)
Jesus said … “anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works …” (John 14:12)
I am a “whoever” and if you have asked Him into your life … so are you …
So, the question remains … do you believe who Jesus says you are?
Do you believe?
If you do … will you offer the “same works and greater” to the world around you?
As we all take a hold of who and whose we are … and offer Him regardless of possible ridicule and rejection … we will do “greater things in His name” and as we do we will see the name of Jesus glorified … We will do the same things that Jesus did … and greater just because …
God is Good!
I have to disagree with you that you are ordinary. Instead you are extraordinary! You have yielded to the leading of Holy Spirit and do not let the weather or anything else stop your listening and yielding to his voice. Miracles happen due to your obedience. You are an inspiration for risking your predictable life, in exchange by letting God inside of you, work through your life. Dynamite power explodes in your obedience. Thank you for being a living wonder of God’s goodness and love!
Thank you Pure Glory. That is very kind. Bring it on I say … although the more we have the more accountable we must be to use what we have … but with Him anything is possible because God is Good! 🙂
What a wonderful, mighty God we serve. He’s good!
Yes He is :-).
