Be strong, fear not!

Thus says the LORD:
Say to those whose hearts are frightened:
Be strong, fear not! Here is your God, he comes with vindication; with divine recompense he comes to save you. Then will the eyes of the blind be opened, the ears of the deaf be cleared; then will the lame leap like a stag, then the tongue of the mute will sing. Streams will burst forth in the desert, and rivers in the steppe. The burning sands will become pools, and the thirsty ground, springs of water.
(Is 35:4-7a)

********************

I am free. My ears have been opened to His word. My eyes now see what He wills me to see in myself and those around me. He said to me, “Ephphatha!” Twenty-five years had gone by and I had forgotten what it was like to hear Him...to see Him...within me.

I was healed through a man whose purity of heart and clarity of soul channeled the grace of God straight into the very depths of my being. There was nothing dramatic about it. Just a simple prayer, a hand laid on my head, with Jesus so close to his heart. He was one of Your own, Lord.

I will never forget. August 23, 2009.

No wonder people follow him. They follow him like they followed You, dear Lord. They know that through him, they come in contact with the power of God. Such a humble, uncontaminated presence...
