Tasting True Christian Love
Taste and see that the Lord is good - Ps 34:8 (NIV)”
In the Rehabilitation centre, on one of the days in December 2000, the nurse removed my son’s urine catheter which was used for more than four months. He was then wearing an adult diaper. I took him for physiotherapy and before putting him to bed for a nap in the afternoon after lunch, I checked up his diaper to change it if it was wet. Surprisingly it was totally dry. It was something
S. THAYAPPAN 23 very strange for me. In that winter, any person would normally feel the need for urinating every hour. My son had not urinated since morning in that climate. I thought of waiting till the evening to check him up again. I checked up again at 4 PM. His diaper was still dry. But he was restless and perhaps was feeling the urge and uneasiness but could not express it. I called for the nurse and she said that my son could have developed some infection in the urinary track or a blockage in the passage which was a serious matter and wanted to call the doctor immediately. I asked her to wait. “Before you call your doctor, let me call my Doctor! Immediately I rang up my Christian friends and told them. They said “Don’t worry, just lay your hand on his body and pray in the name of Jesus. Your faith will heal him (Mk 5:34). Cast all your care upon Jesus for He cares for you (1 Pet 5:7). We are also kneeling down and praying for him”. I did as they advised and prayed in full faith. THE NEXT MINUTE THE MIRACLE HAPPENED! My son urinated immediately without any problem. Hallelujah! Praise the Lord. Many times Karthi’s condition grew worse, totally unpredictable and his head would collapse without any known reason and our faithful prayers used to bring him back to normalcy. How true and sincere is Jesus Christ to His promise “Call upon Me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you and you shall glorify Me (Ps 50:15)”.
