The Compassion of the Almighty

My double vision was so bad that I could hardly see at all. I needed help getting to work. I needed the walls to guide me down the halls... Rachel Laurn struggled like this for months, even having a complete breakdown, before she learned that she had Multiple Sclerosis. When you are diagnosed with a disease that seems to take full control of your life, any sense of normalcy or safety can appear to be completely absent. After hoping to grow into a stable adult and live a straightforward life like anyone else, she was faced with the news that her life would never be the same. MS has no cure. While medications, diet, and exercise help, nothing can make her life right again-nothing except God. During and between episodes, He ministers to her soul like only He can. Only He knows the full truth of how physical calamities can wreak havoc on our sense of identity. Instead of becoming a shell of a person, dying inside and contributing no value to others, the Lord has caused her to be a living testimony of how He cares for all humankind. "I began to feel His presence in my life, rather than just have knowledge of it..." If this is your desire as well, find a place to start within this testimonial devotional. The Compassion of the Almighty is closer than you think.
