His Pain: My Gain

Nothing has been more sustaining than God's words and the people that surround me- so full of love. This love is visible if I stop and take it in.  Taking love in is a choice.  I have gone through a lot of trials lately but he continues to sustain me.  Today is a perfect example of how he gives me just what I need to know that I have been healed. I continue to pray for full physical healing, if it is is his will, but in the meantime, he has given me peace.  Thank you for your prayers and ALL of your actions of love.  Here are His words that brought such peace today:

He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that, free from sins, we might live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been freed.    
I Peter 2:24 NRSV

So with no shame, guilt, or pain I run full of mercy and grace.  Despite pain today, I celebrate all of the freedom I have by shouting and singing at the top of my lungs in the car to a crazy song about love and some disco!

Simple fun and great grace.
Journey for today in each moment.
Love in Him,
~Anna
