The last 4-5 weeks I have been dealing with pain. No life threatening issues. I’ve just had a lingering pain in my right
hand in both the bone and muscle where the thumb and index finger form a 'V'.
- It hurt to grip my coffee cup.
- It hurt to shake hands with people (I do that often at church and work.)
- It was painful to button my shirt, to tie my shoes, to wash my hair.
- It was painful to grip a football in order to play catch with my boys.
- Anything that required the bending, flexing and gripping of my right thumb brought pain.
Like I mentioned, this was not life threatening. No doubt, there are many in much more pain
with more serious issues than my little, right thumb, but I was regularly
reminded of the pain.

I did not grab my coffee and go to my chair this morning
expecting the gift. Jesus knew what I needed.
After all the gifts, lights and other noise, are you still
hurting? Do you have physical, emotional
or mental pain? If so, the same Jesus who
came a few thousand years ago; the same Jesus who met with me so gently, yet
certainly, this morning; He can heal your hurt and pain. Jesus knows what you need.
I am rejoicing this morning!
I am thankful to God this morning!
None of the presents under the tree have been touched yet today, but I
have been touched by Jesus. I thank Him
and I offer Him to you today. For the
first time in several weeks, I type on my keyboard and there is NO PAIN. I pray for your pain today. I pray that it leaves your body, soul &
mind in the name of Jesus Christ.
THANK YOU JESUS for this much-needed, not-fully-expected
gift!
Isaiah 53:4-5 “Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried
our sorrows: yet we did esteem him
stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
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.”
