Justice

For those waiting for healing or needing reminders of what God is really like read Psalm 103. Forgetting not his benefits-he forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases, who redeems my life from the pit (my own darkness of heart because of sin) and he crowns me with love and compassion. He satisfies my desires with good things so that my youth is renewed like the eagles (my resolve to keep seeking him is youthful-that I don't grow tired and weary in seeking him).
...As a Father has compassion on his children, so the Lord (my Father) has compassion on those who fear him, for he knows how I am formed (he formed me and knows my MANY weaknesses), he remembers that we are dust (my breathe is but a minute in reality).
My Father works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed. I have confidence that he will work out my faith and make me faithful, that he will vindicate me from what Satan had stolen from me in my life. For the loss and pain I have experienced in my life is not from man for I do not "struggle against flesh and blood but rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." As the Lord heals me I get justice. Every time I get to be part of some one being delivered from what is oppressing them or partaking in a baptism or make a decision to ask Jesus into their hearts (which will also bring justice for that person) or watching a miracle take place in front of my eyes that is justice and I get vindication for my pain. I gain ground against the enemy and by the grace of the Lord I am healed to the uttermost. What the enemy meant for evil he works for good. I see the kingdom break into this world and the Father make his name known. I see his justice and how he provides for me. He's a good Father. He does not withhold.
Now I didn't just come to this revelation with out a lot of time talking with the Lord and crying out to him to heal me. I have spent many hours in the prayer room pleading for him to heal me. This has not been an easy journey because when dealing with pain an easy answer doesn't come quickly. Healing is a process and a miracle is instantaneously. So healing takes time and I know that those that wait on the Lord will renew their strength. I write this as an encouragement to others and myself to keep pressing in to him who works out everything for our good.
