Kim Von Minden Bainbridge wrote on Jan 11, 2012:

"John, Tamie and Samuel Daniel now walks with JOY with Jesus and God as found in Isaiah 35 - Joy of the Redeemed 3 Strengthen the feeble hands, steady the knees that give way; 4 say to those with fearful hearts, ??Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, he will come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you.? 5 Then will the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped. 6 Then will the lame leap like a deer, and the mute tongue shout for joy. Water will gush forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert. 8 And a highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness; it will be for those who walk on that Way. The unclean will not journey on it; wicked fools will not go about on it. 9 No lion will be there, nor any ravenous beast; they will not be found there. But only the redeemed will walk there, 10 and those the LORD has rescued will return. They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away Praying for God's peace and comfort that only He can give. "
