In Mark 5:25-34 we read about a
woman who had a particular sickness for twelve long years. All those years she
longed for healing. She ran to doctors. She had spent everything that she had
to get healed but she could not get what she longed for. But one day she ran to
Jesus and touched His garment. Immediately she got healed. As she ran to Jesus
Christ, she received what she had longed for.
In John 5:5-9 we read about a man
who had an infirmity for 38 long years. He had been in that condition for long
time. Jesus knew his condition and so He came to him and healed him. After 38
years he took up his bed and walked. 38 years he could not walk or do anything
by his own. But then when Jesus healed him, he immediately walked. He was
waiting for a healing for 38 years and Jesus Christ who knew his condition
granted him what he had desired for.
You might be expecting a healing for
years. You might be expecting a miracle for years. Do not get discouraged. You
will receive what you long for in this New Year.
I knew two young girls who had lost
their father many years ago. On a particular day the father met with an
accident and he died. The father was the only man who was earning in that
family. The mother was not well educated and she was a house wife. As she lost
her husband she didn’t know what to do. But then she had kept her trust in God.
At that time the elder daughter was
studying in a private college and the younger daughter was studying in a
private school. They are in need of the money as the fees have to be paid for
their studies. No relatives came forward to help. As their father had an
insurance policy they thought that the insurance money will come and it will be
helpful to them to pay the fees and manage their life. But the money they had
expected never came.
A case was registered in the court
but then years begun to pass. They waited for years in prayer asking God to
intervene. By then God met all their needs in some other ways miraculously.
Both the young girls had completed their studies in reputed institutions by the
grace of God. The elder one got married and even at that time they thought if
they receive the insurance money it will be helpful but they have not got it.
Yet they continued praying. Finally
after 9 years recently the insurance money was sanctioned to them. They waited
for the case to end for so many years. They kept their trust in God and prayed.
Finally God gave them their expectations. Today I believe that the money will
be somewhat helpful to them to meet their future needs.
My dear young friends, you might be
longing to receive a particular blessing for so many years but yet you might
not have received that. It might be a promotion, a job, or any other blessing.
You might be barren for years and you are longing for a child for so long.
Today God is promising you that you will receive the goodness that you are
longing for so many years. Whatever that you are longing to have for these many
years, will be granted to you in this New Year. God will do that in your life
and definitely you will receive His goodness.
