Today, Melissa Was Healed

Today, my friend Melissa Skinner was healed.

Today, my friend will never hurt again, for she stands before Jesus completely whole.

Today, she heard these words:

My beloved responded and said to me,
'Arise, my darling, my beautiful one,
And come along.
'For behold, the winter is past,
The rain is over and gone.
'The flowers have already appeared in the land;
The time has arrived for pruning the vines,
And the voice of the turtledove has been heard in our land.
'The fig tree has ripened its figs,
And the vines in blossom have given forth their fragrance.
Arise, my darling, my beautiful one,
And come along!'"
"O my dove, in the clefts of the rock,
In the secret place of the steep pathway,
Let me see your form,
Let me hear your voice;
For your voice is sweet,
And your form is lovely." (Song of Solomon 2:10-14)

At age 36, with two small children, it seems and it is such a tragic loss. For we have lost a dear friend. We cannot help but ask God-- Why? And, I know we will not begin to understand the reason(s) this side of Heaven.

All we know is that today Melissa heard Jesus cry out, “Arise, My love” and so she did, for she took His hand and she arose.

For today, our Jesus called our sweet Melissa home.

Please help me pray for Melissa’s husband, two small children, her family and friends.

I love you guys.....
