For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel. John 5:20
Last
night, Rep.
Gabrielle Giffords slowly entered the chambers under her own power to claim
her seat one final time in the House of Representatives. Just over a year ago, January 8, 2011, this
same woman was facing death straight in the face after a gunman open fire on a crowd,
which snuffed out five lives: one federal judge, a nine year old girl and that
bullet which struck Gabby in the head at
close range. Ms. Giffords also announced she was relinquishing her Arizona seat to dedicate
full time toward rehabilitation and therapy. Gabby has beat the odds, all while
baffling doctors and other specialist as to how someone can recover so well after
suffering brain injury and in all practical purposes picked up life where she
left off.
I don’t know if Giffords is a believer in the faith
or Jesus Christ, nevertheless I do sense people worldwide prayed for her
recovery which ushered the Spirit of God to begin the healing process. This
brave heart of a woman and her phenomenal recovery, once again, made me raise
the question “is such phenomena’s like this luck
or divine intervention?” Is it a coincidence, that Gabrielle
survived or was it something short of a miracle?
Does society chalk this up as another spectacular incident which is unexplainable by the laws of nature;
question whether this act was of God or another fluke? I am a firm believer there is power in prayer and Gabrielle
Giffords is a living witness anything is possible with God. This modern day example of a Miracle in Arizona should stand as proof that God provides observable wonders for all to see no
different from the parting of the Red Sea .
Ms. Gillfords has demonstrated tenacity, a
willingness to fight through grueling and painful therapy all with a smile on
her face. Her recovery has not been easy
just as our faith journey with Christ is no leisurely walk in the park. There will be trials, tribulations, and
mountains to climb, events which seem endless and painful. Yet, in the
darkest hour of one’s struggle is usually the day joy will come. Recall
Christ’s words, faith with out works is dead so, the next time you feel that
your burdens are too heavy and you want to give up, remember Gabrielle
Giffords, despite all the odds for some
reason this lady persevered, never gave up exemplifying the true essence of
faith. Because of her confidence,
will and determination she has received the greatest gift of all the miracle of
life.
