For the past few years now, I haven't been able to
understand church services due to my declining speech
discrimination/hearing loss. Just yesterday, I was asking
God, "What is the point in going to church? I can't
understand anything anymore." I just sit, growing
increasingly frustrated, feeling like I could be using my
time better at home.
Last week, the service was about how hearing is the most
effective way to take in information. And, I was thinking,
"Well, isn't that a slap in the face?" This week, I went,
but had my "loop" and microphone. Husband asked the
priest to please put on the microphone for me,
explaining that I would be able to hear and understand
him better with it. And, he happily agreed.
Service started. He began talking. And, I began to cry.
I could understand what he was saying. It was clear.
His message? About JOY. About how the blind
will see, how the deaf will hear. I had tears of joy
streaming down my face today. God used that loop
to allow me to hear again!
God answered my prayers today.........................
and I was able to hear.
My Lord is amazing!
"The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the
lepers are cleansed,and the deaf hear, the dead are
raised up, and and the poor have the gospel preached
to them" Mathew 11:5
"Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the
ears of the deaf unstopped."
Isaiah 35:5
