The moment we received a diagnosis of fatal genetic diease, as parents we believed that our baby will definetely die just because doctors and the great science said so.
As we all know there are many types of treatments and medication avaible on earth, even for cancer patients. However when the problem goes to gene… it seems there is no way we can treat it. After that fear came into our heart and mind, every day and night we were thinking about the terror of losing my baby and all the bad things that might happen.
Until God heard my cry that day, and gave me the sign from Heaven which I had asked for. God is so good, and He is much closer than we think.
As Christian we all know very well that God created us- Human beings. When we are facing a diagosis of whichever type of fatal and rare genetic disease, the first reaction would be “Oh, other dieases are treatable and there are so many hospitals on earth. However what can doctors do with gene problem? They cannot. Even doctors said there is NO cure already…” However, we all forgot God is alive!
We forgot that genes is also one of God’s creations. You think God the creator cannot fix the specific dead, damaged and the missing chromosomes and gene of our babies’?!
God is always smarter than man, and He is able! God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we could ask or think! When doctors’ ability is limited, God’s power picks up!
Sometimes we question and doubt about if God can heal or treat our children’s terminal dieases, and we are thinking… Can God heal Menkes Disease? Can God make my son normal? Can God do this and do that? We are limiting the Holy God with our words without even noticing it. Once we doubt about God, faith will dicrease and fly away from our heart.
I remember when my Jadon was 1.5 years old, I knew a mummy whose son was just diagosed with Menkes Disease just like my boy. She is a buddism and she was very offended when talked about Jesus and God’s miracle healing. She said to me “Please don’t talk about religion to me!” I was so shocked and thought well, Buddism also is one of the religions on earth. How come and since when Christianity became a religion while buddism is not? Anyway long story short, the mummy didn’t have any desire to know about what Jesus had done for us and one day she said “I also wish miracle can happen to my son, but I don’t want to be very disappointed IF it doesn’t ever happen.” I don’t know if that baby boy is still alive by now as we have no more contact for years already…
I want to let you all know that many years ago, I was a non-believer who used to say “I don’t believe in anything but science.” Well, what can the great medical science do for our babies when we (normal humans) received a death sentence diagosis like Menkes Disease or other type of rare fatal ones? NOTHING! Nobody can help me to stop my precious baby from dying. I remember during those darkest days, everybody in the hospital told me to bring Jadon home and rest. I knew what they meant was “there was nothing they could do for this disease, and just bring your son go home and wait to die.” BUT God saved my son’s life!
No matter which religion you are in, if Jesus can make a little baby named Jadon LIVE! Then we are as parents why can’t you just try to know more about this God who can save our babies’ lives?
