There was a wind blowing today through the city. Warm and strong, it took my breath away. It was not a menacing wind. Not one that brings storms and hail and frightening darkness. But one that instead brings change. It was one that pulls you out of where you are, forcing your face upward to the sky.
It was a wind that awakens and fills us.
When the Lord takes away our pain, He does so by changing us. Our surroundings are the same, our situations still familiar. But we are changed by His power. Thankfully it is not our own, for I know it would not last if it was my power.
As we look upward, our eyesight is changed. We see through a different lens, the focus tightened in on the only One who can save us, comfort us, change us. If we will allow Him, He fills the spot of pain with peace, with healing and even – unbelievably – even with joy.
