Defeating Goliath

 This spiritual work is my thanksgiving offering to God — for granting new life to my Mother.

A few years ago, I was shaken to the core when my Mother was diagnosed with an ovarian cancer. I felt great apprehension about losing my Mother to this fatal illness. My faith in God was put to the test — I felt weak and restless because of fear. I was surrounded by a great storm, and I just couldn’t help myself to remain calm — trusting in God alone. During those days, I spent my time in earnest prayer and scripture reading for my spiritual strength — with tears in my eyes and sadness in my heart (for my Mother).

God consoled me and came to my help. I received the spiritual strength to let go of my Mother — if that was God’s will.
Everything went well with my Mother’s treatment. Since then, God has helped me to climb the higher rung of faith — and I am still persevering in faith with all my heart.
 
My Mother is alive and in good health — only because of God’s mercy.
I do everything possible in my strength for the love of God, and the love of my Mother — in honour of God’s fifth Commandment.
 
Blessed be God, forever.
