I repented several years ago. At that time I worked in a children's
rehabilitation center as a physiotherapist. After confession, I began
to serve Jesus helping the disabled. Soon I had to come through a
trial, which caused me to know God in a new way.
One day I felt weak, my legs and arms ached and I could not understand
what the reason was. Day by day the pain became more severe. One
morning I awake in the morning and could not get out of bed, because my
legs were swollen. I was put in hospital. Usually, I was the one, who
helped people, but now I found myself in the role of the patient.
The doctors could not diagnose my illness for long hours. After
numerous medical examinations they finally found out that an
irreversible process had began: pneumofibrosis, intrathoracic lymph
nodes became larger, and several foci were formed in the lungs. I was
diagnosed with sarcoidosis, the treatment of which was not ultimately
discovered in medicine.
I prayed, but it seemed that God did not listen to me. I could not
understand why this happened to me. I thought it was all finished,
there was no hope for me. All day long I screamed, begged God, until I
received His comfort. At that moment I was filled with confidence and
belief that my hardship was temporary and surmountable. God’s peace
came upon me and I began to thank God and praise Him that He had not
left me. |
Periodically, I went for medical examinations. Thought at first, there
was no positive result, but I believed in God's healing. In the most
difficult moments I was surrounded by brothers and sisters of my
church, who were ready to fast and unceasingly pray God for me. They
supported me. I felt I was not alone.
After a regular examination the doctor looked at me in amazement and
said: "If I had not taken the previous x-rays and was not familiar with
the history of your illness, I would be surprised why you have come
here, because the lymphoid nodes dissolved, signs of pneumophibrosis
disappeared". After leaving the doctor's office with epicrisis in my
hand, I wanted to shout for joy and tell people about the miracle of
God. He healed me!
Looking back, I think maybe all this was not in vain, because a lot of
positive changes took place in my family. My parents repented, my
daughter’s faith grew in God. Besides, while being ill I could
experience the state of the disabled people, whom I serve, and that
made me better understand and help them.
The Lord is faithful in all circumstances! He controls everything. The
main thing is the right attitude of our hearts. During the trials and
difficulties it is better to obey and trust God than to say "why?"
