He Strikes to Heal
"My punishment was
good for me, because it made me learn your commands"(Ps 119:71).
On 2nd of Oct 1997 we started
our journey for Divine Retreat Centre. On the way I got very high fever
and kept vomiting. The first three days I was restless. I made my confession
with great difficulty. What was wrong with me I could not understand. It
never happened to me like this before. I did not get words to explain my
problems to anyone. The medicine which I took was of no use. My condition
became worse. But after confession I felt better. Before I could not sit
and listen to the sermon but now I could do so. There was calmness, peace
and silence in my heart. No worries, no anxieties. I felt light. I had
been leading a life filled with sin. A life filled with hate, anger, jealousy,
selfishness, idleness and pride. I used to quarrel for nothing and create
disturbance in my family. I kept fighting and obusing others. A "legion"
was within me. There were all sort of devils in my heart. I surrendered
all the evil to God and that was when I found Jesus. Jesus miraculously
came into my heart, filled me with repentance, joy and assurance. He plucked
out all the anger, jealousy and hatred from my heart. Jesus washed me clean
in his precious blood. My sins were as dark as scarlet but now I was as
pure and white as snow. On Friday I was completely healed from my sickness.
Praise the Lord! God forgave me all my sins as a merciful father does.
Thank you Jesus!
