Moving Testimony

As you may know, I am a strong believer in Christ. Unless Communion is happening that Sunday, after worship, there is time allotted for people who have received a word or an image from God. We call these testimonies. I have gone up myself only twice, but I love listening to them, because sometimes, someone will have an image or something, and when they share, you feel it affect you being. It's a wonderful feeling. Anyway, today something unusual happened. After the worship and testimonies, there is a coffee break and then the sermon. Point is during the sermon, a women walked up and stood waiting for the speaker to finish the sentence. The speaker looked at the woman, smiled kindly and asked "Do you want to say something?" The woman nodded and proceeded to tell us her testimony.

The woman talked about how, a few days ago, she and he husband went to check up on the baby she was carrying. They found out that the baby was not in the womb anymore. it had ruptured her womb and moved to her intestine. The doctor said this may have happened a few days earlier. She had been carrying a liter of blood, that wasn't supposed to be there. So she had emergency surgery. They removed the fetus and the excess blood. She then proceeded to tell us that when she woke up out of the medicine, all she could think of was Jesus. And even though her husband and herself were morning the loss of their baby, she was still thankful that she was alive. She was thankful that god allowed her to stay here on earth. It very well could have been killed.

The story was so moving. It touched my heart, realizing the full kindness of God. Yes, the baby dies, but the woman didn't. God really is always with you. After that, I couldn't concentrate. The only I kept replaying over in my head, was me walking up to the woman and telling her that god really has his arms around her in a tight embrace. I kept thinking this over and over, and I realized that this is a message from God, telling me to go to her and say it. So I did. I was nervous because I had never done that kind of thing before, but I really felt that it was important that I did. The woman was very nice, and I could see in her eyes that it helped her a little, to get confirmation from someone else that God loves her. It was an amazing service today.
