If You Could See Me Know
“ … eye has not seen and ear has not heard, and which have not entered the heart of man, all that God has prepared for those who love Him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9
Four years ago today, our granddaughter, Lindsay “Bear” Groen received her new heart and entered into the presence of our Savior.
After six weeks at Children’s Hospital Boston, her little body recovering from two open heart surgeries and a cardiac arrest in between, the Lord mercifully and graciously called her home into His presence.
Our family refer to this season in our lives as the best-worst six weeks of our lives. As gut-wrenching and heart-breaking as it was to see Lindsay and our kids face one of the toughest trials of life, we all witnessed the power and presence of God in our lives in ways that today still seem hard to put into words.
Walking this journey of grief has been a lesson for all of us. There are days when it appears to get easier. Then there are days when the pain, heart and questions come ragging in like a flood. Yes, there are still tears. We all are grieving at different stages.
But we do not sorrow and grieve without hope. We take comfort that Lindsay is in the arms of Jesus and enjoying HIS presence. The words of this contemporary song describe it well ... Indeed if we could see Lindsay now … WOW!
Our prayers have all been answered
I finally arrived
The healing that had been delayed
Has now been realized
No one's in a hurry
There's no schedule to keep
We're all enjoying Jesus
Just sitting at His feet
Is you could see me now
I'm walking streets of gold (sorry Jimmy DeYoung J)
If you could see me now
I'm standing tall and whole
If you could see me now
You'd know I've seen His face
If you could see me now
You'd know the pain is erased
You wouldn't want me
To ever leave this place
If you could see me now
My light and temporary trials
Have worked out for my good
To know it brought Him glory
When I misunderstood
Though we've had our sorrows
They can never compare
To what Jesus has in store for us
No language can share
I finally arrived
