The Greatest Miracle He Did in My Life

I’m a 37-year-old first time mom from Sri Lanka.

Last year, when I was 6 months pregnant with my baby, it was found in a scan that the baby has a growth restriction (IUGR) as a result of less blood flow from me to the baby. We were told by 3 specialists that the chances of survival of the baby cannot be guaranteed and even if the baby survives, the baby will have to spend a minimum of 2 weeks in the NICU.

Also, that the baby may not have proper skin or hair developed as the body would prioritise blood supply to the vital organs and everything else is deprioritised. We were told we should be taking the baby out after completing 32 weeks. All 3 specialists that we consulted told us plainly,

“There’s nothing you can do.”

There’s no treatment or cure for the situation we are in.

We were obviously devastated by what we heard and cried to the Lord for his intervention. After 3 days when we went for the subsequent scan, it was revealed the blood flow is normal – there’s sufficient blood flowing to the baby – PRAISE GOD. (However, the prediction given about the baby and the medical precautions to be taken did not change.)

I have no words to thank my Lord Jesus for the greatest miracle he did in my life. He fixed what man couldn’t. He proved to be the God of the impossible. Jesus, who went about healing people while on this earth, is still in the business of healing. His healing virtue has not diminished. He’s the same yesterday, today and forever.

Moreover, when our beautiful baby girl was born at 36 weeks, she was a perfect baby, with a head full of hair and all her organs including her skin were fully developed. She lacked nothing. She had no complications and never had to be taken to the NICU. God gave us a “perfect gift”.

We are also grateful to God for the few people he raised to pray for us during the difficult period we went through. May the Lord bless them abundantly.

All honour and glory belong to Jesus for the wonderful miracle he has done in our lives. It’s purely his grace and favour that we were able to experience his wonder working power. Jesus is faithful. Jesus is good.

Don’t be discouraged by a negative diagnosis – Jesus can overturn it overnight. He did it for me, he can do it for you too. There’s hope and healing in Jesus, he’s all you need!

Praise the Lord!
