“Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;” 2 Corinthians 1:10 KJV
“How long did it take?” That’s the million-dollar question. It’s the question that I was asked recently after doing a Facebook live session where I shared my journey to wholeness. The story of how God took me from a place of anger and sorrow after receiving my infant son’s rare genetic diagnosis, to a place of joy, peace and wholeness.
Isn’t that always the question? How long will it take to lose the weight, or experience financial freedom, or feel peace in my relationship? In the case of replacing my sorrow for joy and my fear for courage, my answer is that God began working in me immediately and yet He is still working.
The moment that I opened my mouth to say, “God, please help me!” He rushed in. I see that now in hindsight. He gently and lovingly put the right people in my path and the right doors began to open so that I could follow Him towards wholeness. Each week, month and year I was becoming more and more whole. But it wasn’t an instant “ah-ha” moment, where all the hurt, disappointment and hopelessness fell away.
