Rejoice!

This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Psalms 118:24

Gone is restless wondering:
“Is God absent? Is His goodness near?”
No more doubting distraction:
“When will healing come?”

Shadows of time and fear fade, disappear
outshined by divine Love’s tender, “I am here!
You are My beloved child
and you will forever be
as whole and as well as Me.”

Discouragement defeated,
God-given dominion mine:
awake to good alone.

Knowing now what God has always known, 
I joyfully greet each day as a healing day
of learning, affirming anew
what is true.

—Diane Witters
