HE MAKING OF A DIAMOND - #36

Written by Johanna Hobrath

 

[June 16, 2002] On June 13-15, 2002, I experienced pain that made my days and nights uncomfortable.  On June 13-14, I awakened my husband to pray for me; however, the uncomfortable, oftentimes painful feeling persisted.  My husband encouraged me to see a physician if I did not improve.  I trusted the Lord so that a healing would take place.  When Saturday, June 15, 2002, arrived, we were to attend a Sonshine Circle event; however, that event could not be attended.  [The Sonshine Circle is a group of elderly people that faithfully attend the church where I and my husband worship.] 

 

This morning, June 16, 2002, I am so delighted that my pain is totally gone, and I give my Healing Physician, the Lord Jesus Christ, all the glory for the Healing Power that flows from God’s Throne.

Dear Reader, please remember that Scripture tells us: “...They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.” [Matthew 9:12]  Also, God has placed a normal healing process in every person's body.  However, discernment must be used when determining what should be done when an illness comes your way.

 

Many years ago, while facing major surgery, I consulted a pastor’s wife.  "Regarding the surgery," she said, in essence, “I will pray for you so that the Lord will show you what route to take.”  THAT IS GOOD ADVICE!

This morning - June 16, 2002, Father’s Day - I am rejoicing about the healing I received from the last 3-day illness.  I am also grateful that I am able to attend God’s House this morning.

 

The poem entitled “THE MAKING OF A DIAMOND” was written today, June 16th.  Mankind was created with emotions.  God also has given talents and/or abilities to mankind.  Prose and poetry oftentimes express the emotion or the spiritual insight that a Christian has.  Today, I had the privilege to express the emotion of my heart.  “THE MAKING OF A DIAMOND” not only speaks about myself, but, also, may define the human/spiritual side of many Christians.

 

THE MAKING OF A DIAMOND

LORD, THE TEARS FLOWED TODAY

I PONDERED ABOUT THE YEARS OF JOY AND PAIN

MY LIFE, LORD, WANTS TO BE YIELDED TO YOU

BUT THE BUSYNESS OF THE DAY BRINGS EARTHLY TASKS TO DO

THIS VESSEL, LORD, ASKS FOR PEACE AND SOLACE THAT YOU CAN GIVE

WHEN TAKING TIME TO SEEK YOUR HEAVENLY WILL

AS A DIAMOND IN YOUR KINGDOM, LORD, I WANT TO BE

HELP ME TO UNDERSTAND THE SHAPING THAT COMES FROM THEE

WHILE TOILING, SHARING AND WALKING WITH THEE

ON THIS EARTHLY PLACE UNTIL I REACH THE GLORIOUS ETERNITY.
