We prayed earnestly for a miracle. We thought a complete healing would bring God great glory. But it did not happen that way. There was no healing.
Does that mean God did not hear our prayer or want to get the glory He so deserves? By no means, no!!! A friend reminded us that that there is a greater Glory yet to be revealed. We just could not imagine it because of the loss. Our thoughts are limited by pain and fear, but God's are not.
"And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will." Jesus spoke those words with full knowledge that He would go to the cross to suffer and die. Even He prayed for a change of plan. But, now the Greater Glory remains - Jesus rose from the dead and will return for those who believe in Him.
What a sight that will be!! And she will be with Him. No more fear, no more pain, no more death.
When you ascended on high,
you took many captives;
you received gifts from people, even from the rebellious—
that you, LORD God, might dwell there.
Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior,
who daily bears our burdens.
Our God is a God who saves;
from the Sovereign LORD comes escape from death.
