Your mercies are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness!!!
Lamentations 3:22
A friend who is celebrating with me
The GOOD GOOD NEWS
Of my HEALING from cancer…
Recently sent me this song.
As I listened, I wept,
And I want to share it
with anyone who needs it
TODAY.

Lord,
I want to carry this like a banner in my life
From this point onward
To accompany the mighty miracle
you’ve done for me!
At songs beginning, these lyrics speak
of fear and unbelief…
I’ve had my struggle with those
As I’ve journeyed this last year…
I’ve been disappointed in myself
On lowest days
As I’ve felt my lack of faith
For the miracle I was hoping for…
I’ve learned much about my own weakness
And His ability to shine through
With his power and strength
When I have none.
I’ve come to know, as if for the first time:
It’s not my own ability or faith
That apprehends his mercy
It is the gift of HIS.
He writes HIS OWN FAITH
Into my story
Giving me HIMSELF…
When I have nothing.
It is a mustard seed of HIS faith
That moves my mountains,
HIS faith-full-ness
received, as gift
Believed… embraced…
That bears fruit.
WHAT an author…
Writing His own abilities
into my wrestling…
Making me look good
As He completes and perfects
The gracious work He began.
That is how I feel about my healing
He did it…
He had the faith for it…
He wrote it into my story…
It was His plan for me to live
And walk with this victory crown of life
And use this new anointing
For His glory.
I intend to give back to Him
And to many many others
Struggling through dis-eases…
With the fresh crown of victory
Won through such a battle
As this year has been.
HE
WILL
GET THE GLORY FOR THIS WIN…
It’s all HIS STORY…
HIS MERCIES
That are NEW EVERY MORNING…
AMEN.
P.S. I did not realize till after I wrote this… that my journey’s first blog was called “NEW EVERY MORNING.”
HE is the AUTHOR… and the FINISHER of our stories….. HE completes the good work He has begun.
If you’re reading this – it is for YOU. 🙂
Through mountain top and valley low
In every season, this I know
Your GOODNESS like the dawn
Will break again…
~ 𝑀𝒶𝓉𝓉 𝑅𝑒𝒹𝓂𝒶𝓃
Yet, I totally trust you
To rescue me one more time
So that I can see once again
How GOOD you are
While I’m still alive.
~ 𝒦𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝒟𝒶𝓋𝒾𝒹 (𝒫𝓈𝒶𝓁𝓂 𝟤𝟩:𝟣𝟥)
Remember:
He works everything for GOOD
In the end….
If it’s not GOOD yet…
It’s not the end.
[Romans 8:28]
