Many years ago, I found out that I could
not have children but, I felt no fear or sadness in my heart because I was
certain that God was in control of the situation. On many occasions, I saw my
husband very sad and thoughtful but I always told him: “Don’t think about it
anymore because God will give us the blessing of being parents”. Every time we visited
a clothing store, I bought things for my baby and my husband said to me, "wouldn’t
it be better that you wait for God to do the miracle and then buy things? and
my answer was: "If I had any doubts, I would wait, but the God I believe
in will make me a mother; I don’t tell Him how he will help me, I will just wait
for His ways and His time, to do the miracle; and while I wait, I will enjoy preparing
myself for the arrival of a baby to this home”.
Finally, we were given the miracle! I was
pregnant! but one month later I began to have threats of abortion and during
one of those, the doctor told me to prepare for the worst, to be strong. I did not prepare for the worst, instead I
decided to hang in tight to the hope that God would save that pregnancy and I
remember how I said in my mind: “God, you don’t abandon those who have put their
trust in You”. That same day, almost at midnight, all the contractions,
bleeding and vomiting disappeared. Today that baby is a ten-year-old boy, and not
only that, I am also the mother of a five-year-old girl, another miracle in my
life of which I will share my testimony later. My children are the living proof of an
unshakable faith. Today I thank God for the opportunity He gave me to have
children, both who are very different but that complete my life with the most
pure and unconditional love I have ever known.
My faith prevented me from doubting that God would answer my prayers and I simply prepared myself for the miracle even without having received it. This reminds me of the story of the two farmers who prayed to God for rain, one of them prepared the soil to receive the rain while the other, even praying for the rain, never prepared the soil.Finally, God granted the miracle of the rain to the one who prepared the soil because this man was the one that showed God faith without doubts and it was pleasing to God.
In Matthew 17:20 Jesus said to them, " "Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." Not all the time I have had unshakable faith but certainly in the moments in which I have maintained my faith I have been able to see the most beautiful miracles in my life.Put your burdens and worries in the hands of Jesus, let Him carry them for you, and you should not regret.it
John 11:40 Jesus said to him, "Did not
I tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?
Hebrews 11: 1 So faith is the certainty of what is expected the conviction of what is not seen.
Although there are still petitions in my life in which God has kept silence, I trust in his promises and take for granted that the miracle will come to my life according to his will. I urge all of you to declare your miracle today in the name of Jesus. God bless you.
