Hi sass!! I sure can identify with your son!! And like you, and your son, I sure did also pray for my healing. 8 stents later. This all happened way after I gave my life to Jesus! BUT!!! You knew there would be this here. lol My heart was not right. There is a big difference from wanting to love others,from wanting to always do what you know is right,and doing it!
After my heart problems, the Lord has me focus much more on doing,then wanting to do it. You know,your mom or dad tells you not to do something,but you do it anyway,and then say but I didn't know?? lol! Or I meant to do as you said,but I just could not? Or even better a child once said to his parent, it is not my fault mom the devil made me do it!! LOL
Sometimes things happen in our lives for more then just one reason! Not only a time to reflect upon our life,but on others as well.Others we had no time for,others not as important as ourself.These are just some of the things that went through my mind during my ordeal.
So with 8 stents fixing my old heart,God through this gave me a much better one! It is not enough to mean to do something kind,one learns that by doing something kind for someone else,you also become healed as well! Just a thought sis!! I sure will be praying for your son,but perhaps like for me,he needs to learn something much more important then his health. And so. a new prayer was granted by Holy Spirit for me to pray,unto the Lord,and dear sister it really has worked!! ( psalm 51:10-12!!) Create in me a clean heart Oh God, and renew a right Spirit within me!! Cast me not away from thy presence , and take not Your Holy Spirit from me.Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation and sustain me with a willing spirit! My your son be willing, as God in him already is willing!!
How he treats others. How he looks at others. And how by helping another, God can indeed help him much more then he ever thought or imagined. Your son is in my prayers,God hears my prayers,not because I am so good,and not because I am any better then any here!! He hears my prayers because i have a new heart of love, for one another,not just for my self!
Please have him consider this. ( 1 John 4:7-21!!) At 45 years of age,I found out something I never knew!! Love is really real! It mends broken hearts,it builds another up, as you yourself need and want.It changes wanting to help another,into helping! For by this love we give,we also receive!! MUCH MORE!! amen!
