Sacred Stories
Her 22-month-old grandson was in Pediatric ICU. She had stepped out of his room to call her parents. As she tearfully shared all of what was unfolding, a stranger handed her a card.
The words written on the envelope spoke right to her heart:
-
My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
The inside of the card was also filled with encouraging scriptures:
-
Fear not for I am with you. Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
-
My soul melts from heaviness, strengthen me according to your word.
-
The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears and delivers them out of their troubles. The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart.
Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God (I will praise his word). In God I have put my trust. I will not fear.
She said to her mother,”I have prayed to Jesus to put me in a place in life where my actions are a testimony of my faith in Him. I wish it had only affected me.”
A total affirmation of her faith, this card from a stranger….
