Just saw a meme on social media. You might have read it or something similar to it: “A YES from God, blesses you.  A NO from God, protects you. And WAITING FOR GOD Prepares you.”

Well, watching an emotional movie today, triggered some feelings from the death of my first husband. I knew in my heart, and believed with my whole being that He could be healed. I made posters so my husband could read the promises of God. Believers came to his bedside and anointed him with oil as they prayed. Pastors came and served him communion and prayed over him. I KNEW he would someday share his story of healing…but my 41-year-old husband died. So, what do I do with all my “I KNOW, I BELIEVE?”

This meme reminded me, that even though he wasn’t healed in front of me, to live happily ever after, he was indeed healed. A YES answer. How do I know that? He died at 5:30 in the morning and that night, our oldest son “saw” him in his bedroom doorway. When he shared this with me, the next morning, through tears, he said, “Mom, dad looked great! He was strong and healthy.” Scriptures tell us there will be no more pain and suffering. No more dying and no tears in heaven. My husband was whole and well and with the Lord…OR… If I believed God had answered NO to me and did not heal my husband, then as the meme said, I was protected. The Holy Spirit carried me through the funeral and I was protected with stamina to work and return to college and provide for my boys.

God is so good, filled with unconditional love for us. Embrace Him. Send your prayers to Him and know that He will answer. Trust.  Have faith.  Believe. Be made whole! Yes = blessing you No = protection for you   Waiting = preparing you   God will answer.
