Healing

I felt the need to go to St John’s tonight for choral evensong.  The final hymn “Just as I am, without one plea” contains the phrase “healing of the mind”.

As I walked back through Princes St West Gardens I realised that my heart mind and soul are going through a deep healing process. The depth of pain I felt/still feel at D’s betrayal, the shattering of our family life and home, will take a long while to heal. I know I am being healed, I know that the dead branches have been removed and I am being lovingly pruned by God. There is so much to do though. We were together 30 years; he was my soul mate. The damage done to my heart, soul and mind was immense. But I am healing.

There’s a lot to forgive, and that takes time.

From the pit

At PSandGs this am, Libby was preaching on Does God Heal Today? Well, obviously, I know that he does. She then played some audio of Duane Miller’s healing. Audio  He is a Texan preacher who had suffered from a failing voice for 3 years, had withdrawn from preaching, was asked to help at the last minute to preach on Psalm 103. As he preaches on God’s Grace his voice changes from a crackiling gravelly voice to a clear normal voice. He is overwhelmed with emotion. I welled up. The verse that resonated with me was verse 4 “who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion”.
