REFLECTIONS FROM THE MAT

In sudden shock and frustration, I find myself laid aside with a cardiac diagnosis. God has not changed. Nothing is a surprise to Him. God knew. My body in it’s silence knew. It is my mind that is having a difficult time absorbing it all. We had many ministry plans that have had to be cancelled. WHY LORD? Is often on my mind. God is teaching us through some precious saints who are praying and literally carrying us in many practical and spiritual ways.

Not the least of which is my dear husband, Jerry. An entirely new role for him. I have always appreciated his love and concern for me but it is even more obvious and precious to me in these days. Certainly, God has brought folk into my life for such a time as this.

Here are some REFLECTIONS FROM THE MAT which I hope will encourage you when frustrations walk across your agendas!

IT’S OKAY- Mark 2

It’s okay to be the weak man on the mat

The one with the pale, wizened face.

It’s okay to be carried to the Lord

God’s Peace offers fear no space.

It’s okay to be the man on the mat

In spite of struggles of option or choice

Jesus has assigned others to pray

Until battered faith can hear God’s Voice.

It’s okay to be the man on the mat

Because all Carriers once laid where you lay

Each has been healed by His loving touch

Walking proof of God’s Power today.

So relax on your mat dear wounded heart.

Cuddle warmly in God’s tender embrace.

The Father who heals you has already assigned

Anointed Servants to love in His Place!
