Healing is in Your hands

Healing is in Your hands

No mountain, no valley

No gain or loss we know

Could keep us from Your love

No sickness, no secret

No chain is strong enough

To keep us from Your love

To keep us from Your love

How high, how wide

No matter where I am

Healing is in Your hands

How deep, how strong

Now by Your grace I stand

Healing is in Your hands

Our present, our future

Our past is in Your hands

We're covered by Your blood

We're covered by Your blood

How high, how wide
No matter where I am
Healing is in Your hands

How deep, how strong
Now by Your grace I stand
Healing is in Your hands

In all things, we know that

We are more than conquerors

You keep us by Your love

You keep us by Your love

Today, our church had a healing service and there was an alter call for people who needed healing, so people went. Many of them. I was at my seat, praying for those out at the alter, but was also reflecting on how so many people need a healing touch from God and praying for the ones I know of. Lately, many people around me and their family member have been sick, be it physically, emotionally or mentally, and some are even experiencing loss of loved ones.

It is only by God's grace and power can all these be healed. God's love is so high, so wide, so deep and so strong, that nothing can keep us from His love and His power of healing. Especially us who are His children, we definitely have the grace from our heavenly Father, and in Him we are more than conquerors (Romans 8:37). Just like what is said in the song.

Healing is in His hands.

After church service, I was waiting at the tram stop, on my way home. I saw a father and a son playing at the tram stop on the opposite side, while waiting for their tram. The son was only little, probably 2 years old? or maybe 1 +? Not sure, but he was little. At one point, the son stretched out his arms, and ran towards his father excitingly (is this a word? =p), and the father, then stretched his arms, caught his son and carried him up with a big wide smile on his face. At that moment, I could see the smile of love of the father, so sweet.

This reminds me of how we have to come to our heavenly Father with a child-like faith; stretching our arms wide, running to Him, and knowing that He will catch us and carry us up and tight, with a big wide smile of love on His face. Because we are called His children (John 1:12-13; Galatians 3:26-27) and He loves us (John 3:16).
