生命何等脆弱啊。。。Life is so vulnerable...
为了当事人着想,我决定让他们匿名。。。
今天,我从一位朋友听闻他们的朋友(A) 的事。。。
A 本来要在毕业后进NIE 的,可是,就在Raffles Hospital 检查身体的时候,查出他的肺有一个密瓜般大的肿瘤。之前,A 已接受一系列的化疗,但现在,癌细胞扩散了,几乎可说是等死,完全只是靠呼吸器在生存。基本上他已经昏迷了。
我从我朋友的分享中听说他一直(甚至在梦里)都在为 A 祷告。我当时便想:“生命真的好脆弱,真希望 A能醒来信主。”
今天晚上约10点多时,我的朋友突然播电给我,说“A 信主了!” 我听了非常高兴,也很兴奋想知道发生了什么事。但是,他只跟我要了Lee 的电话号码,说等一下再告诉我。后来,我的朋友便打电话来跟我叙述经过。
原来,今天下午,Lee 到医院去看A ,与 A 分享耶稣,还播诗歌和圣经讲解给 A 听。
我的朋友在晚上6点时就到了医院。探望他的人连绵不绝,也听闻 A 曾经清醒了一阵子,但多半还是昏迷的。他一直等,等到9 点多,才有机会进去看A。
我的朋友一见到A便说了一声:“A,我是XXX”。
A 便挣开了眼睛,然后再闭上。
我的朋友接着说:“耶稣爱你,他能够医治你”。
A 突然很有劲地点了个头。我的朋友又说:“你要不要信耶稣?”
A 又 孟点了一个头。
我的朋友便帮他祷告。
一直昏迷的 A 竟在我的朋友入病房的那刹那儿挣开眼睛、点了两个头,这必定是主的intervention 吧。时间刚刚好。A 好像就是在等人来带领他祷告。
我听了这番故事,心里有莫名的感动。
主啊,我真的希望奇迹能出现,为了您的荣耀、为了您的名誉。。。

For the benefit of those who dun understand...
The gist of this sharing is to let you know how vulnerable life can be.
A young man(A) of around my age can be well at a moment and suddenly down with lung cancer, even strugging to survive now, depending on the breathing tubes to breathe.
In fact he is unconscious.
Thank God however, for Lee and my friend, who never give up on A, visiting him and sharing to him the gospel of Christ as and when they could... Even though A might not seem to be listening. (In unconscious state)
Today, my friend visited A and managed to catch him conscious for that particular moment that he's in the ward! (Good thing he had to wait for 3hrs to get into the ICU, because all A's other friends were trying to get in as well. )
Upon entering the ICU, He mentioned his name and A immediately opened his eyes for a while before closing it again. Then my friend mentioned the saving power and love of Christ. To his amazement, A nodded in agreement. Just one nod. Yet strong and powerful for a person as him.
Next, my friend asked if A would like to accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour. A gave a firm nod again... just one. but firm. My friend proceeded to pray for A.
Looking at the timing and the whole turn of events, i could only thank GOd and Praise Him for these... The whole heaven rejoice when one soul comes to the Lord. I rejoice with them. :)
My prayer O Lord, is that he will be healed totally, for Your glory and Your name's sake.
