When God Gives You a Promise!
I had to have cataract surgery a few years ago. No doctor would perform this surgery on my eyes because my vision has been very poor since I was an infant; it was minus 17 in one eye and minus 20 in the other. I met one doctor and he said he would do it for me. He told me he had never worked on eyes as bad as mine before, but believed he can do it. As soon as he spoke to me Jesus said for me to let him do it, and everything would be okay, I would be able to see well. Jesus spoke these promises to me and it put a great peace in my heart. When the operation was over I could see so well! For the first time I could see a leaf on the tree and a snowflake; I am so glad I obeyed him. His promises have always been true, even at times when I was afraid, I asked Him to help my unbelief and He did.
Thank you, Jesus, for your love and mercy on us all.

Hebrews 11:33-35
33-[Speaking of past men of God] who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
34-quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
35-Women received their dead raised to life again. Others were tortured not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.
