Healing Hope Ministries
December 2011
Dear Friends,
I am writing you from St. Petersburg, Florida. The afternoon sun is shining on the water and the temperature is in the mid seventies. Never did I expect to escape the Northwest cold and ice, but when my son Paul invited me to spend the winter with him in his condo, it took me about two seconds to respond with a resounding “Yes!”
For several years I’ve been sending you monthly the stories of people who have experienced some kind of abandonment. Cast away, neglected, demeaned or diminished, they felt unworthy of anyone’s love. When the time was right and by a variety of means, God Almighty revealed that He loved them and had never abandon them. From that moment, their spirits began to soar.
I have decided, after prayer, to revise their stories so I can publish them in a book that will present readers with the overwhelming evidence that God is ready to heal every person who is broken hearted and set them free in Christ. So instead of interviewing more people and writing their stories, I plan to spend the near future on this collection, Lord willing. I’ll let you know when it is available. If God brings me to mind, pray that I will be led by the Holy Spirit.
Thank you for letting me know when God used particular stories in your own life and when you forwarded them to others. May we remain mindful of the fact that God is writing stories of His grace on our hearts every day. So how can any of us remain silent?
Blessings,
Marion Duckworth
