Morning All,
I just wanted to let you know how the Lord has worked in one perticular area of my life.
18 years ago I gave birth to my 2nd son. He was later diagnosed with cerebral palsy and by age 2 suffered severe epileptic seizures.
At 1 year old the doctors told me quiet blatantly that my son would never walk, that he would never talk and that it would probably be best to put him in an institue by the age of 2 because he would be so hard to care for.
WOW! That was the worst day of my life. I cried rivers of tears.I went through all the normal human emotions, anger sorrow, guilt etc. I began to believe that it was all my fault that he had been born this way. Guilt ruled me by this time. I eventually had counselling with our local pastor and God lifted this from me. Praise God.As time went on I began to realise that what the doctors had said about my boy was basicly a curse spoken over him, and I didn't like it at all. In Jesus' name I stood firm in faith and broke that curse from having any power over my son.
It took me along time , I was always asking why? Why won't you heal my son , Lord? Then one day in prayer He spoke to me and His words changed my life forever. He said,
"IN MY EYES, HE IS PERFECT!"
I now understand that what we see as humans to be normal may not always be. I have learnt so much from this child, and I am truely able to thank God for him. He is a blessing in my life. Your suffering can be a blessing.
And might I just add, at the age of 7 my boy learnt to walk. We are still waiting to hear a word from his mouth and I know it will come, weather it be in this lifetime or in heaven.
He is on medication for seizures but has not had one now for over 6 years, Praise Our Mighty God.
Never give up, never lose hope, God hears and understands our prayers and answers in the right time.
Bless you all from Tilly.and my 6 beautiful children.
Thank you for sharing your heart.
You have blessed me.
Dani
