MIRACLES ARE STASHED

A child has suffered from leukemia and has gone to stage 4. The child underwent a bone-marrow transplant, but the resulting outcome was still unsatisfactorily and the child’s condition was worsened. The mother started to lose her faith and give up to this battle against the cancer. Everyday the child and her mom pray to God earnestly asking Him to clear away the cancer in the child’s body. One day when they are in hospital for chemotherapy treatment and check-up, the doctor gladly announced that the child’s leukemia is invisible and cannot be found anymore. The doctor with his fellows were amazed and rapture about the miracle that appeared in the child’s ailment. The mother is enlightened and thanked God for his miraculous healing to her child.


The story is about miracle that comes in indefinite circumstances in the life of the child. We live in a world that full of tragic, frustrations, hatred, diseases and downfalls. We never want to see ourselves under hardships and adversaries that make our world crazy. God sent miracles to complement the trust we serve and our faithfulness towards him. God never fails those who trust and believe in him. Nothing is impossible to him, even mountains that are difficult to move are moved. Our faith accounts for the blessings that we get everyday. Blessings may be poured out daily to us, though. Special blessings such as miracles are the greatest gifts that our creator can endow to us. As the child and the mother in the above story, they fervently asked God to give the child another life and it did, the invocation was answered with enormous blessing that anyone couldn’t do. I believe that God created the world not to suffer on the earthly problems and hardship, but to define ourselves as we seek him through our faithfulness to him, how we love him and the others as we love ourselves, how we humble ourselves, and how we can defy evil and sins in our lives. We can see miracles putting in reality when we believe that God is always there to make impossible things to possible.
