The Great Physician

I've been running from God for so long. Afraid of Him and what I thought was His punishment. Afraid for Him to look at me in my frightful condition.

Like an injured child, terrified of the very doctor who wanted to mend them,I ran away. Not understanding that going through the pain of the treatment is the only way to begin to heal. I have hidden my wounds and they have become infected and lethal. If I ever would have been able to look Him in the eye,I would have seen the love that wanted to heal me all along.

I am tired and sick and ready to submit, ready to surrender the hidden parts so that I might be made whole. I'll let Him drain away all the poison from all the years of hiding this pain. I'll believe that this pain has a purpose.I realize now there is no other way but through.

And I will be in good hands.

I don't know you and yet I have a vison for you...a vision of a life of freedom and so much love coming from Him....as you run headlong into Him instead of away. You are a work of His and His fingerprints are all over you. I am blessed to have found you here and pray that you continue to share all that He takes you to and through....Thanks becky

Jan, you are right where He wants you....I like what Becky wrote. I can almost see the pain draining...and you get a transufion of healthiness back in your bloodstream.

Huge hug to you!!! This is such a good place to be...painful but good.

P.S. You are so gifted with words!

The wonderful thing about God is that He sees us when we run, He knows what we're running from and He's waiting for us to realize we can only run so far (from ourselves).

He's waiting, like the loving, patient Father that he is, for you to come to Him, to say "I'm sorry for all I've done, forgive me and help me to live a better life." Then allow yourself to cry on His shoulder and feel His arms tighten around you, let His love enfuse your heart and know that you are His.
When you are ready, ask for His Spirit to fill you with Life and then breathe in that Life and know that you are a new person, all things have passed away...
