~ Yes, God loves us! ~

Thought I drop you all a few lines regarding a wonderful thing that happened to me last weekend (March 14, 15 2009).

I did not have a good night sleep on Friday when I discovered that my kidney stone was traveling down to my left urethra.  It got so bad the next morning that at 8 am Saturday morning,  I had to get a jab from the doctor to ease the pain.  That evening, at the B&P celebration, I asked Bro David and Bro Peter Tan to pray for my kidney stone problem.   At 10:30 pm on Saturday night I felt the stone continuing to move down the urethra little by little.  Just the thought of the stone moving down the urinary tract gave me cold sweat as I know the pain is unbearable.

I prayed to our Heavenly Father to remove the pain and asked Him why I continue to have this kidney stone for the past few years. I prayed “Father, I need to know that you love me and please remove this pain Father”.  I needed this assurance and I asked if He loves me again and again.  With these questions in my head and thinking of our Heavenly Farther I went to bed around mid-night.  Amazingly, I only had a slight discomfort but felt the pain around my urinary bladder.  In my mind, I thought that I would probably have to see the doctor again in the morning for another pain jab (this happened twice before, once in ‘04 and again in early ‘08).  Oh, I have so little faith!

I slept well through the night and at around 5:30-6:00am I felt three little taps on my left thigh.  I felt the stones moving down from the bladder to the urethra.  I did not move and thought I would get the pain attack but nothing!  No pain!  I just laid still and did not get up until 7 am.  I woke my wife up and said we need to go to the market.  I went straight to the toilet and pass out three stones!

I related the above incident to my children during our usual Sunday morning devotion and bible study time. My son said that the three tap means “yes, I do.”  I had asked the Lord, if he loved me and He answered, “ yes, I do!”

We have this secret message that we do as a family.  We would hold each other’s hands and squeeze four times (Do you love me?) and the response would be three squeezes back ( Yes, I do) and then with two squeezes ( How much?) and finally one hard squeeze (Very much!).

I am so blessed!  A personal touch from the Lord! Healing!  Yes, He loves you and me!

Lord Jesus is alive! We are His beloved.
