Several people testified about God's wondrous and miraculous works in their lives without saying a word as a band performed a beloved and classic hymn.
Life is an experience often filled with problems, issues and struggles. Everyone will encounter their fair share of agonizing situations and heartaches. Unfortunately, no one will escape this life unscathed and without feeling pain at one time or another.
Thankfully, there is One who has promised that He will never leave or forsake us during these periods. Even in instances when it may not feel or look like it, God is still at work and remains in control.
In a clip posted on YouTube, a group of musicians performs “Blessed Assurance” as people walk out onto the stage carrying cardboard signs.
“Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God
Born of His spirit, washed in His blood”
Every sign tells the story of pain, hurt or loss. The signs mention the death of a loved one, experiencing abuse as a child and addiction to drugs and alcohol. However, thankfully that is not the end. Every one of those individuals then flips their signs over, revealing that they have overcome those deep hurts and struggles thanks to God’s abundant power, love and mercy.
The short, 6-minute video, filled with people testifying how God forgave their sins and comforted them during a heartache, is enough to move even the most stoic and unemotional person to tears.
The world is full of people who have been hurt but God, through His unending love and grace, offers forgiveness and comfort for those who call upon His name.
What a beautiful clip that perfectly demonstrates the wonderful and life-changing works of God!
Psalm 23:4 “Yes, though I go through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for you are with me; your rod and your staff they comfort me.”
