If you love animals and want to view an encouraging story, then check out this video. A starved horse looked dead, but just wait for her amazing transformation.
In this clip, a pony was thought to be dead lying on the ground, but a welfare charity came to check on the animal. Someone actually called for the horse to be taken because they believed the horse was deceased. They discovered the pony, named Heidi, was unbelievably still alive and took her to receive medical care.
The poor pony had pressure sores due to starvation. They covered her sores with bandages and they began to heal. The medical professionals helped Heidi rest and receive the care that she needed and Heidi began to improve. Although she was improving by lying down and standing up on her own, she was not gaining weight. Then, after a little longer, Heidi made a complete turn around.
She is an absolutely stunning horse. You will be in awe of her transformation from sickly and close to death to alive, full, and running. The before and after photos shown are absolutely incredible. Her perseverance is amazing. Her endurance helped save her from death.
This reminds me of how we were once as dead as this horse in our sins. Because Jesus came, we were restored and renewed. Jesus brings us back to life. We are a new creation just as astounding as this horse’s transformation. God is changing our hearts to look more like His own. We are made new and never going back to the place of destruction because of the eternal life we have in Christ.
“Restore us to Yourself, O LORD, so we may return; renew our days as of old,” Lamentations 5:21
