CHOOSE TO BELIEVE
“I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe that I am who I am.” – John 13:19
My dad was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer. After hearing the news, I thought to myself, “Not again, God.”
My mom passed away when I was 16, and I couldn’t bear the thought of Dad having a terminal disease.
Praying as a family was our way of dealing with Dad’s condition. During
one of our prayer gatherings, my aunt shared with us that God had given
her a vision. She saw a thumb massaging a mass of flesh as the latter
slowly disappeared.
It was comforting to hear that a miracle was taking place, but it was
hard to believe. But God was faithful to His promise. After a month of
undergoing radiation treatment, the stage 3 mass in Dad’s colon totally
disappeared. The doctors were amazed that not a trace of cancer could be
found.
In the Gospel, Jesus prophesied to the disciples so they may believe in
Him even more. He didn’t focus on the feeling of betrayal or fear of
what is to happen. Instead, He made use of the moment to reveal Himself
as a God who is in control of all
situations
— past, present and future. God knows exactly how to wow us! Today, He
reminds us of His greatness. He calls us to believe. Pia Angelica Suiza (piasuiza@yahoo.com)
Reflection: What are the miracles or revelations that God has performed in your life?
Lord God, I choose to believe in You today. Give me the humility I need so I may grow in my faith in You day by day. Amen.
St. Isidore the farmer, pray for us.
