He cried after hearing that his speech was affected after his surgery. His doctor advised them that it could take 3 - 6 months to recover. But my friend never gave up on his battles.
When I saw him yesterday, I was amazed at his improvements.
In less than a month, he can already speak words well enough to understand. He laughed so hard while listening to the song he recorded on his phone. I know God has already healed him.
During our conversations, he recalled the biking accident. He remembered only few details and the pain he'd gone through. He thought he would die and he just surrendered his life to God.
After the critical operation, he woke up to his second life.
While listening, I was deeply moved when he mentioned his recent visit to church.
Because he still finds it difficult to pray and remember everything about the Lord,
he said that he simply knelt down and made a sign of the cross. And that was his way of praying.
He also showed me a verse which he posted in his facebook account few months before the accident . "He must increase, but I must decrease. (John 3:30")". Perhaps God wants him to speak less for a while, listen to Him more and feel God's love though the people around him. He added "Hindi ko alam", then smiled. I prayed for my friend and requested him also to pray silently.
We may sometimes feel weak, but we can rely on God in our daily battles.
We will probably not remember everything. But our God does.
We may find it difficult to pray, but to feel His presence is already a prayer.
At the end of the day, we have a God who is more than enough.
