We received a call a little bit ago from Erika, the woman who had been Yamuleith's foster mother, and the news that I've selfishly not been wanting to hear finally came - Yamuleith went home to be with Jesus tonight.After my initial meltdown, God comforted me with a detailed image in my mind of Yamuleith, healthy, strong and dancing gracefully with her beautifully delicate face glowing as her once-blind eyes behold the unimaginable beauty of her Wonderful, Merciful Savior. That picture alone brings me more comfort than I can express. She is safe and can no longer be harmed. She once was blind but now she sees. She once was lame but now she dances. She once was lost but now she is found. She is completely healed in every way and she is seeing and experiencing the wonders at this very moment that "our hearts always hunger for."
I thought at first my tears were because of all she had to endure and suffer through in her brief life but I realized a little bit ago, after watching Yamuleith dance in worship to our King through the window of my imagination that my tears tonight are not for her but are for myself.
Wonderful, merciful Savior
Precious Redeemer and friend
Who would have thought that a lamb could
Rescue the souls of men
Oh, You rescue the souls of men
Counselor, Comforter, Keeper
Spirit we long to embrace
You offer hope when our hearts have
Hopelessly lost the way
Oh, we hopelessly lost the way
You are the one that we praise
You are the one we adore
You give the healing and grace
Our hearts always hunger for
Oh, our hearts always hunger for
Almighty, infinite Father
Faithfully loving Your own
Here in our weakness You find us
Falling before Your throne
Oh, we're falling before Your throne
You are the one that we praise
You are the one we adore
You give the healing and grace
Our hearts always hunger for
Oh, our hearts always hunger for
