👉 When You See, You Have a Choice — Day 6: You’re Not Alone
💛 Day 6 — Heart Moment
One Step at a Time — When God Walks You Through It
One of the most powerful things the Lord has ever taught me
happened the day after my husband Rob received his complete healing—
Not just a touch here on earth—
but full, eternal wholeness
in the presence of Jesus.
When Rob passed from this life—
I was holding his hand.
We had simple gestures—
our way of saying “I love you.”
And in that moment—
just as his body gave way
and his spirit departed—
he gave me one last sign.
His way of saying:
“I love you.”
I believe God allowed just enough presence
for that moment to remain with me.
The Next Morning
Later, that same day —
I could barely breathe.
So I went for a walk with the Lord.
And that’s when He began to speak.
Not audibly—
but clearly.
Deeply.
In a way only God can speak
when your heart is broken open.
“You think it will be an eternity until you see him again…
but you’ve got it backwards.
It is only a vapor of time.
Eternity is where you are going.”
📖 “This is life eternal, that they might know thee…” — John 17:3
What He Showed Me Next
As I kept walking—
He showed me something else.
“You see the yard behind you?
You don’t have to stay there.
And you see what’s ahead?
You don’t have to rush into it.”
What That Meant
I didn’t have to stay stuck in what had just happened.
And I didn’t have to be pushed forward
by fear or pressure.
I could move forward—
one step
one breath
one day at a time
In surrender.
What He Was Teaching Me
Not to be easily moved
out of my place of surrender.
To stay with Him—
moment by moment.
Because when our thoughts
or emotions get ahead of Him—
confusion comes.
But when we walk with Him—
even when we can’t see clearly—
we find peace.
We find joy.
We find His presence
guiding us forward.
📖 “God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God…” — 1 John 4:16
The Truth
Jesus is not only our Healer.
He is the way
we come to know God—
not just as Creator—
but as Father.
If You’re Here Right Now
If you feel like you can’t breathe…
If you feel stuck between yesterday and tomorrow…
You don’t have to figure everything out.
Just take the next step.
Take the next breath.
Trust Him today.
Because He is with you—
right here.
Walking with you
through it.
I hope this helps you open your heart to believe again.
May it bless you, as it has blessed me in the telling.
With love in Christ,
Karen
