'Stripes' in the Fabulous Freeverser Cub
Healed

OKAY - Before anyone starts feeling sorry for me, know that I never feel like this. Well, hardly ever.
I do have a vision impairment but have so many other gifts from Him that this is a minor inconvenience, not a major sorro9w. And I DO know I'll be healed of this, whether here or in Heaven, makes no difference to me. If God can use this, He will. If not, He'll heal it. It's simple. And, like a child who doesn't always understand why Daddy makes the choices he does, I'll admit my inability to always understand God. (If I could completely understand Him, would He be worthy of my worship I think NOT!)
Oh, also, I do NOT have a cross tattooed on my face. Far too cool for me to do, my friends. :) I was trying to be 'artsy' and am not sure I came even close. MIght have reached 'strange', but no farther. lol
Isaiah 53;4-6 says (King James)
But he was wounded for our transgressions,
he was bruised for our iniquities:
the chastisement of our peace was upon him;
and with his stripes, we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned every one to his own way;
and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
OR (in a newer translation than from the 1500s)...
Yet he himself bore our sicknesses,
and he carried our pains;
but we, in turn, regarded him stricken,
struck down by God, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced because of our rebellion,
crushed because of our iniquities;
punishment for our peace was on him,
and we are healed by his wounds.
We all went astray like sheep;
we all have turned to our own way;
and the Lord has punished him
for[a] the iniquity of us all.
Since this verse talks about 'iniquity' (sin), I know the first level of healing is spiritual. The physical will come when it comes. :)
Either way, God is good!
Thanks for reading and sticking around for the sermon! lol
