“In Darkness I Do See” by Laurie Ann McCaulley
IN DARKNESS I DO SEE
By : Laurie Ann McCaulley
Theme: Blind Faith
Supporting Scriptures:
Psalm 22:24-25 (TLB) for he has not despised my cries of deep despair; he has not turned and walked away. When I cried to him, he heard and came.” Yes, I will stand and praise you before all the people. I will publicly fulfill my vows in the presence of all who reverence your name.
Matthew 28:20b (NKJV) and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
Testimony:
In December 1989 when I was Christmas shopping, I suddenly went blind. This blindness was a result of a brain tumor that raptured and had been hemorrhaging for several months. The doctor had told my family it was over a 90% chance I would not survive the surgery and if I did my eyesight would more than lightly not be restored. But God! While I was awaiting my surgery, I was praying” Our Father” hear my cry. The Spirit of the Lord whispered to my inner being;” Laurie Ann, lo, I will be with you always then He whispered” and when I heal you, you will serve my children.” All, Glory goes to God, in the name of Jesus, upon the removal of the tumor (which was benign), my eyesight was restored.
My brothers and sisters, in Christ, and to those who do not believe, the question was not if He would heal me but when? For fifteen years, (after the surgery) I had to take medicine every 8 hours to live but now, 27 years later, I have only 2 tablets to take a day. The doctors are still amazed how my vital signs are within the normal range without the additional medicines and without my major glands properly functioning. I proclaim, “God is Faithful to His Word”! He is still in the healing business both physically and spiritually.
The following poem is an expression of my feelings after this life changing trial of faith.
In Darkness I Do See
Through the eyes of my salvation
I could not see
Lord, until You blinded me.
Although You walked with me daily
And kept me from harm,
In darkness I do see Your loving arms.
In the darkness of my mother’s womb You were there
To create me with Your loving care.
As a child I could not see
Oh God, how much You were protecting me.
As time progressed I learned more of You
And found there was not
Anything you could not do.
With all that I encounter, even in darkness,
I no longer fear
because, Lord, You are always near.
