"I AM WHO I AM!"

"It means God is there with you in every situation that you are going through!"

I am so overwhelmed! Tears of joy and celebration! Jesus Christ has yet again shown His amazing power and sovereignty! Thank you God for an awesome moment that I am witnessing in my own lifetime!

During my time spend with God, requesting the Almighty and praying fervently for Pastor Abedini, I feel a victor! I asked God like many others, to help Pastor Saeed Abedini unite with his family. I use to wonder, sometimes loose hope and inquire the rationale from God for the suffering that Abedini's family was going through. I use to give up hope as I did not see any immediate results. I questioned God for the hard and difficult times that the family of Pastor Abedini was facing! I never got my answer that I needed and required to satisfy my limited human understanding. However, God always has His valid and profound reasons. I definitely have learned an enormous lesson from the brokenness and the suffering of this family. Moreover, the persistence and strength of Naghmeh Abedini always reassured how faithful God was! I always saw peace and  incomprehensible satisfaction whenever I watched an interview of Naghmeh. The peace she had definitely passeth all humanly understanding! I could not understand the faith and trust in the midst of a storm. A hailstorm! A tornado!

God showed and preached His love through these human vessels (Abedini family) at the time of their suffering was incredible.

Suffering and pain increases compassion and amazingly gives us perspective! A perspective that we would not know if we did not experience pain.

Lord made this TEST into a TESTIMONY!

Thank you God... for giving Abedini family the miracle they were looking for!

Thank you Jesus again for this amazing news!

I conclude with Abedini's word that will remain powerful and profound for me forever! He wrote to his son last year when he was unable to attend his birthday because of his "chains that were keeping him away!".

He further added to his birthday note, "Even though I am not there with you, I AM is there with you."

Pastor Abedini concluded the birthday note by giving glory to God! He stated, "Thank you for standing strong with me in this battle for the Glory of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!"

Now again God gave us the time to give glory and honor to Him for His great work! Amen!
