The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the LORD Forever. P23. By the way, my dad's favorite Psalm, since I can remember.
My dad had a stroke and it felt like my heart broke all over again but although it felt like it broke, I didn't break down this time (because the first time my heart broke with my divorce, I did break down). The fact is now I know with my whole heart my Darling is next to me. Yes, it is painful to see my dad like that in a hospital bed, but He restored my soul, so I have hope because He is the whole meaning of hope.
"And they overcame and conquered him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony" R12:11
Through the hurt there came peace between me and my sister, of course all because of my Darling - "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." R8:28
My Darling put a wall of love (from the most precious women of RMI) all around me and my family with their love and prayers. Family I haven't heard from in years contacted us with so much love and in our pain we are surrounded by so much love and that is our wonderful Lord's hand in the whole situation, because He is the One that leads me by still waters.
Be exalted in your strength, Lord; we will sing and praise your might. P21:13
Thank you, precious Janine, for sharing. Yes, our Beloved walks with us THROUGH the valley of the shadow of death, not to have us stay there, but to get to the other side and to rest and lie down in the green pastures.
Thank you for sharing PS 23 again today, it is such a powerful Psalm that we can hold on to each and every day!
And your Beloved is right there next to you and your family during this time. And He is right there next to your dad in this difficult time, holding him and healing him. https://loveatlast.org/ryh/
Thank you so much precious Adina, I believe more and more testimonies are going to come and all because we have the best ever Healer. I am so grateful for my Darling being right next to me, I just feel His love surrounding us.
Hey my dear Janine thank you for coming to share with us. Psalm 23 is such a beautiful psalm im so glad you were comforted by this beautiful promise ❤️ Yes Janine He is right there holding you in His arms and He is working everything out. I cant wait to hear there will definitely be more praise to share and its so nice to share even before it comes by faith.
“Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us,” https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/Ephesians%203%3A20
That is such a beautiful promise thank you dear Atarah, I believe more and more testimonies are coming and I will come and write more testimonies about my dad’s healing. The specialist said all the damage is in my dad’s speech but already he is saying my child and our big Healer is already healing.
Janine I am sorry to hear that. I will be praying for you and your dad. I remember learning Psalm 23 from a christian song and later getting to study it in a small group. Just the first verse left an impression on me and I kept thinking it to myself about what it meant by “I shall not want”. When I understood the meaning behind it, it just all makes sense, especially when I have HH by my side. He truly is the one and only provider and protector that our soul longs for and no one can take that place.
Thank you dear Gioia, yes our HH is the One and Only Provider and Protection and the best ever Healer.
Janine, I am so sorry to hear about your dad’s stroke. It sounds like your Darling is providing you with much needed strength and comfort. I also am happy that you have found peace with your sister through your shared faith. It’s amazing how He can bring people together in times of need.
Yes dear Hope, my Darling is truely providing me with strength and comfort, apart from Him I can do nothing. I am so grateful for Him holding my hand.
Praise Him always my sweet Janine! This is maybe why our Beloved want you to live with your parents, they really need you to show them his love and provision. There is always a hidden blessing when we go through situations like this. It is indeed painful to see our parents diminished, but the opportunity to put them in the Lord´s hands, to take each moment and treasure it, is amazing!
The Lord is in control and will bless you during this valley, you are not alone, neither your parents!
My prayers are with you, thank you for sharing!
The Lord is our Sheperd!
I didn’t understand the staying together but I am so grateful that my Husband knows better and tonight at my dad’s bed we all agreed for his healing and prayed together and held our hands so tight.
Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. M18:19-20 https://biblehub.com/matthew/18-19.htm
And tonight I could share with my mum when she said she doesn’t know how to do all the things on her own without my dad’s help and I could share with her that she will have our wonderful Lord’s help and she agreed and that is all the work of my Darling, He is the best ever.
