Rajinder and Madhu�s miracle baby
Yesterday Rajinder and Madhu came to see us. They are a lovely couple that we met a few years ago when they were new believers. Yesterday they brought their baby boy and their firstborn son with them and told a moving story.
After the birth of their first son they lost three children, two in late pregnancy and one died at the hospital soon after birth. Doctors told her that if she had a boy this time he would most probably suffer from the same defect as the baby that died at the hospital. But this humble couple put their trust in God and asked for healing and a safe delivery of the child to be born. Madhu wanted to give birth to the baby at home because of what she had been told by the doctors at the hospital. If she gave birth to a boy he would have to undergo a lot of tests and treatments and had to be taken all the way to a hospital in New Dehli.
Three weeks before her due time for birth she went to the hospital because of pain and unease. At the hospital she was scanned and thoroughly examined before she was sent home to rest and wait for another three weeks for the due time. The very same night she went into labour pain, was able to call for a midwife and gave birth to a beautiful boy! He got some rash and wounds in the back and lost some weight for a while. After prayers from the covenant community he was healed!
Now they were standing in front of us and telling moving their story giving thanks to their Lord. They were radiantly and a kind of beauty of gratefulness engulfed them as they showed us their miracle baby! I could see the beauty of the Lord in this poor couple. We were standing on holy ground encountering God. In His presence we had the privilege of offering prayers and thanksgiving. We felt so blessed being able to see the miracle of the Lord in this tiny baby.
God is so good!
