December Twenty-Seventh 2016
(My journey began)
Written: by Miracle Man
This day, three years ago, I began a journey
that culminated with Sudden Cardiac Arrest
on New Years Day 2017.
God used Open Heart Surgery on December 29, 2016,
and three days hence, Sudden Cardiac Arrest to demonstrate HIS power.
Given little hope, God, in sustaining me glorified Himself,
and my hardship has been a powerful testimony to others.
Hardships can be teaching tools,
and there’s no healing balm comparable to God’s touch.
God often uses disappointments to realign our thinking with His,
and uses harrowing experiences to cleanse and purify our lives.
Jesus brought hope to a lost and dying world,*
and we are chosen to be witnesses of His love
Many years ago, God’s word touched my heart causing me to realize,
that no good deed or social ranking could get me to heaven.
My salvation is a work of god’s grace not of my works,**
My redemption was freedom, gained through being born again.
If He could cause the waves of the sea to be hushed
why should I doubt?
*1 Corinthians 1:18
“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.”
**EPHESIANS 2:8 KJV
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship,
