I AM the Witness
The Healing Power of Love
Two days after Easter in 1993, my eldest daughter suddenly went into a coma preceded by seizures. She was rushed to the hospital and the doctors worked feverishly over her. The tests they gave her provided no answer as to the cause of her illness. They concluded that encephalitis was the closest they could come to a diagnosis.
The doctors would not give the family hope about what my daughter’s condition would be when she came out of the coma. She could be blind or paralyzed—they just couldn’t tell. She was in intensive care for six days. During that time her loving husband, her five children and her in-laws were constantly with her, taking fifteen-minute turns holding her hand and telling her how much they loved her.
I had called the ranch and had Keepers of the Flame everywhere praying for her. Although she herself was not a Keeper, she had sometimes given violet flame decrees and enjoyed reading the Pearls of Wisdom. Additionally, friends of the family from various religious backgrounds were praying for her and had formed prayer groups for her in several states.
On the seventh day she awoke, by God’s great mercy and love, and by the prayer chains that were going on around the country for her. She was normal in every way! In two days she was able to leave the hospital.
She is doing very well and still has much service to give. Her service and the love she gave others was returned to her through the loving prayers of the many people whose lives she touched.
The doctors are stumped. They say, “Here comes the miracle lady!” whenever they see her.
My daughter’s crisis has brought her family closer in God’s goodness and love than ever before and we will be forever grateful for this blessing.
I am also grateful that the miracle was obvious to the doctors and hospital staff, for they too witnessed the healing power of love. It will always live in their hearts and memories and nothing can ever take it away.
