Life over the past few weeks has been pretty low. It’s been part of the journey I have been on for the past 6 years. I would describe it as a period of wilderness – the dark night of the soul – a spiritual depression. I decided it would be a good idea to have some people pray over me and so headed up the the Healing Rooms at Dural. This particular day I was so low that I was unable to drive and could barely walk, the oppression was that great. In the car on the way, I was silently praying to God that today might be the day that he might heal this spiritual depression and distance that I was feeling from him. Tears streamed down my face as I cried out to the Lord.
About 2 kms down the road I looked up and so a sign on a pole saying – Lavish. The same sign was repeated on the next post, and the next, and the next. I said to Roz (my wife) “I hope this is a sign from God for us today”. “Yes I hope so too” was her reply. No sooner had the word left her lips that she laughed and cried all at the same time, as she pointed to the very next sign that came on the following post – “heaven”, repeated over and over again. Of couse we couldn’t help but smile when several kms futher up the road we drove up to another sign printed on a double sized trailer on the sign of the road which read – “Only Jesus can heal your pain”.
Were these signs from God? I don’t know but they certainly spoke to us that day. I’m not healed yet but let’s just say I’m a work in progress. Please pray for me that I might soon encounter God’s empowering presence in order that the hole in my heart might be finally satisfied.
How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! – I John 3:1
