Years ago, on the morning prior to my grandmother’s death, which, although not totally unexpected, came suddenly upon her family, I was studying and pondering upon one of my most favorite scriptures: Isaiah 53. At that time, I received an overwhelming witness of how the atonement of Christ assists our repentance AND heals our sorrows, whether these sorrows come upon us through the death of a loved one or illness or the sins of others against us or any other means. “A man of sorrows, acquainted with grief” Whose grief is He acquainted with? Ours. Since that day, I have had numerous confirmation of this truth.
Additionally, I learned that I can forgive harm done, because Christ already paid for those sins as it connects to my life. He has already carried that load; therefore, I do not need to burden myself with pain and suffering. I can let go. I can be healed, and move forward in joy and peace. He is the great Judge, and He will take care of the “situations” of life.
I suggest that the greatest miracles of God are the healing of each heart and soul who comes to Him. I pray that all might come unto Him and be perfected in Him. There is no joy that compares to His joy, no love that compares to His love, and no peace that compares to His peace.
