I CAN DO HARD THINGS

Did you ever find yourself in the middle of something and think: "I can't do this...I don't want to do this!" ????

Yeah, me too.

That's exactly what I thought as I stood in the empty hospital hallway, outside the door of the room my daughter was in while she had a Cat Scan. She was screaming in pain. The intensity of her pain has been compared to the severe pain of a gunshot wound to the abdomen. She did not have a gunshot wound, but the pain was that horrible.

I couldn't do anything to help her.

Just me - alone in the hospital hallway at 2 am in the morning.

Then I remembered I wasn't alone.

GOD was with me.

He promised to never leave me or forsake me.

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. The Holy Bible: Deuteronomy 31:6

He promised that I can do ALL THINGS through Christ who strengthens me.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. The Holy Bible: Philippians 4:13

I prayed: "I can't do this, GOD, but you can. Give me wisdom and give me strength, and heal my Sarah."

After two ambulance rides, visits to two hospitals in the middle of the night, some good and some bad medical staff, multiple labs and other tests, and a life-saving emergency surgery at 3 am in the morning, GOD spared my daughter's life.

I am thankful for the specialist/surgeon who "just happened' to be at the right hospital at the right time to perform my daughter's emergency surgery to stop her internal bleeding. Sarah is home from the hospital now recovering. GOD used multiple people to save her life. GOD is evident in every detail.

GOD is omnipotent and omnipresent.

I am thankful GOD goes before us, and He is also our rear-guard.

Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard. The Holy Bible: Isaiah 58:8

GOD is with us each and every step of the way.

That's what EMMANUEL means: GOD with us.

That's the message of Christmas: EMMANUEL, GOD with us.

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. The Holy Bible: Matthew 1:23

I can do hard things.

I can do hard things.

Whatever you are facing - you do not have to face it alone.

Ask GOD to be with you. Give JESUS permission to come in to your heart.
