When Faith Is Put To The Test


Growing up with my father is one of the very best things I will forever treasure.
His smile glows and makes our day extraordinary. His simple gesture gives us hope to overcome our day even if it went wrong. Energetic, Active and one of the most enthusiastic person I know, not only that he is God-fearing as well. A good provider to us 3 siblings and makes sure that he send us to a lofty school for quality education. My father in one way or another gives me the courage to go through life’s every tests and to never give-up by far.

I don’t want to be emotional but I can’t hide the pain I am feeling right now,
Because the person I look up to and the person who gives me inspiration suddenly has lost vigor, Saturday morning when Mum called and asked if how we are doing until she held that Papa is ill. Papa doesn’t want us to know about his present condition because He doesn’t want us to worry. My father recently is half paralyze, he is weak, vulnerable and is at risk. He can’t move his right arm and leg and he doesn’t utter a word or a thing. I can’t imagine the agony his bearing as of the moment.

I feel so helpless at this time, I feel like I am never a good daughter to him while he is to us. I love my father so much that if only I can wash away the excruciating pain he is feeling right now. If only I’ll carry the tormenting strain he is experiencing on his behalf I would gladly take it without any doubt. Sometime, I would ask God why this has to happen, why to my father.  

When faith is put to a test, we often cried for impartiality. We seek GOD’s providence and ask over for help. Friends, please include my father in you daily prayer, your plea will be of big help to me and to my family who is hurt with my Papa’s situation. I hope that God will give us enough courage to face the trial he has given to us. And the test he has set to us would apparently be an eye opener to each and everyone that we should never give our faith a halt.
