Fruits of Faith!!!
This is a story of miracles and faith and believing in God. Not all the stories have only sad endings, sometimes life offers people a second chance, a chance to see joy again in their lives, a chance to be able to emerge out of the grief that had once engulfed them and drowned them in nothing but seas of darkness despair and doom. The chance to be able to walk out of a dark tunnel with the sun shining bright and give respite to those who hang on to faith, those who pray and believe that it shall not go to waste. Because yes this is a story of one such miracle.
When she came to me her stress was clearly visible on her face, and before she started speaking tears started pouring down her eyes. She was in her late forties. She told her story of how she lost her 22 year old son to jaundice and how her world has ended since the death of her only child. “I don’t know how to cope up with this grief”, she said, “God has hurt me beyond comprehension and I don’t know why. My son was my only ray of hope in my life as my husband is also very indifferent to me. This is not what I deserve I never did bad with anyone”. She wept and wept and wept. And so did I. But I had no consolation to offer. There is grief of levels where nothing one says provides any solace to disturbed hearts. This was that sort of a sadness. She left.
She started visiting me frequently and said I want more children doctor sahab. This was almost 2 years ago. I used to see her often then roaming from one gynecologist to another, her husband never by her side, yet her hope for children was very strong. She told me most doctors have refused me as they say my and my husband age is a too much to plan as it wouldn’t be successful. Yet she was persistent.
She came today. Her face clearly reflected the joy she had. After many failed attempts she had conceived, she showed me the ultrasound report, it showed a twin pregnancy. She talked rapidly and excited, she said you see doctor sahab god has heard my prayers I lost one child but now I will have two. My life will be happy once more, god has rewarded my persistence. I was so so happy seeing her happy . Its nothing short of a miracle I told her, the chances were very remote. And yet then I could feel the power of the divine, of course science and ivf are advanced today but yet several couples even in early ages are still childless and struggling. And here I see what rewards faith gives people.
This story made my belief in god affirmed once again . The fruits of faith are the sweetest,Each person in his or her lifetime faces roadblocks, stressful situations of different sorts, disturbances they can’t overcome and they become distraught, it seems like the end of the world , like no hope exists, like happiness may never come , like solutions will never appear, this is the most crucial time which tests your faith. Do not give up just then, be persistent be rigid be fierce have faith and see how miracles happen. Hang In There just a bit longer cos the tunnel will definitely end. You just have to walk a bit further, don’t get exhausted and halt midway. The sun is shining bright and there will definitely be an end to the night. Life’s problems will get resolved and everything will be just all right.
Wishing everyone strength courage and abundance of faith. May you cross all your tunnels and find happiness always
