He is real

HE IS REAL

"When it comes from him, trust me, it's perfect," Mom always repeat those words and remind me to believe in HIM. Its like she's telling me that nothing is impossible for him.

So, I decided to ask her who is the man she's talking about. But she said; you maybe not see him through your eyes, but he is like an oxygen, we NEED him every single day.

And then a few minutes later I'm still confused, back then, I was just a seven year old kid, asking her mother about that man.

She keep telling me about how he makes miracles. How he heal those who ask some help and how he sacrifice himself at the cross just to save us all from our sins.

And the day finally came. My mom is sick. Terribly sick. I pray to that man to heal her but that man didn't answered.

I was mad, furious even. She said he can do miracles, then why can't he heal her sick?

That's the question running to my mind. As the time goes by. My father, who left us years ago came back with this little kid.

So I wonder if this is another suffering that he prepared for me. But I was wrong. Very, very wrong.

Mom, has a cancer in her kidney, stage four. I don't know what to do that time but still, my mom keep worshiping the man that she always telling me.

I wonder why? Despite that she is still sick, despite that my Father is back with his new kid. Despite that we suffer but still she choose to praise him.

So I ask her, why? But you know what she answered to me.

"My child. I am still praising him despite what's happening in our lives because he deserve it. If I didn't meet your father back then, I wont have an angel like you. If I didn't have this sickness, your father won't be here with us," she said while lying in her bed.

"This situation right now has a reason. Don't ever blame him because our mind is not the same as his. We are just a merely human, we made a mistakes while he is the only one who we can describe as PERFECT," and after she said those word to me. It feels like I want to slap myself.

So I pray and pray, asking for forgiveness. I had learned that everything has a reason. If my mom's gonna die, so I'll accept it. We don't hold the life of these people. We're just a human.

As the time goes by, it's like a miracle that my mom is okay. Its like HE answered my prayers. Dad is also giving his time for us. And for my step sister, I'm starting to like her.

Before.. I was just asking for a complete family and now.. he gave it to me. I am grateful. It is proven that he is REAL. That he is greater than anyone.
