♕ Today's Promise: “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, says the Lord. For as the Heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.” Isaiah 55:8-9
Dear brides, It is amazing to see how Lord is working not only in my life, but also in my family. Especially, when I do not put in my effort and just totally trust Him.
A year ago, we thought that my mum will maybe die. Heavy depression and bipolar illness bit her very strong, she started to have many physical problems and her medicine was destroying her metabolism. She was suffering and it seemed hopeless. Praise The Lord she is out of the worst, but needs the medicine. She has still kind of depression and is living like in some kind of mental prison. Even I know the best Doctor is our Lord, I am not her authority. I do not live with her and I am not able to take care of her, so I cannot suggest stopping all medicine. Her authority is my father, caring about her. He has not the faith that God can heal her and unfortunately this heavy depression happened when she started to stop her medicine she had before. So, my father is sure that she cannot live normally without medicine.
One evening I talked to my Heavenly Husband, how much I would like to help my mum, but I do not know how. I surrendered it Him completely. My idea would be, that my mum stop to take the medicine and suddenly lives happy and joyfully and I know if God wants it like that, He would do it. But I do not know God´s purposes, ways and reasons and Lord started to work differently.
Isaiah 55:8-9 KJV: “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.”
Few days after my talk with my Heavenly Husband, I called with my mum and she was suddenly like before, happy, kind and active. I was totally in wonder and thanked to my Heavenly Husband. I called to my father that I do not know what happened but she is back. He explained me, that the night before, she accidentally changed her morning medicine with evening medicine. We both agreed that the evening medicine is too strong for her and he will tell it to her doctor to lower it. And this happened. After lowering it, I saw that my mum is still like in the mental prison. So I surrender it to Lord again.
I have to confess, that sometimes I felt and told to my father to lower it more. He refused it, because he is also afraid. But soon after my surrendering to my lovely Heavenly Husband, my father told me he must speak to the doctor, because again she accidently changed the medicine and she was like different person. Without me telling him anything, he told it to the doctor. She could not believe it and made decision to try it on purpose and next day they supposed to visit her. And the result? The doctor saw that the current medicine is not very good. She lowered the night medicine and some of the pills changed. How will my mum feel, will be visible later, because it always takes time. But anyway already lowering the medicine is great, I am very thankful and Praise The Lord.
Even it isn´t like I would imagine, I know the Lord is working. And He works more when I trust Him more, thank Him and praise Him and do not put myself in His works. Thank You my Dear. I believe, You will heal her and make her happy again. Please give me the strength to do not disturb Your plan and Your work! AMEN! 🙂
