Blessed to be a blessing

She was born into a family who were strong idol worshippers. One day her son fell very sick. She took her son to the village doctors and took treatment for several days but it did not help her son get better. This continued for several days and his physical condition deteriorated to a great extent. She then took him to the witch doctors who also took money for all the magic spells and sacrifice they did on behalf of the child.
Meerabai comes from a very poor family and she could hardly manage one meal a day. Often she would go to sleep by drinking a glass of water. In pursuit of healing for her son she moved from one idol to another but all her efforts were in vain.
One day when she was moving about with her sick son, somebody directed her to the nearest church in the village and asked her to meet the pastor. She went very hesitantly since she was tired of knocking all doors. The village pastor received them and prayer for her son and declared in faith that within a week her son will be completely healed. Sure enough God answered prayer and the next Sunday she came to church with her son who was completely healed. It was simple faith that brought healing in the name of Jesus.
Meerabai was very happy that she did not have to spend a penny to receive this divine healing. She started attending the church and hearing the Word of God. Slowly her faith increased and she received Jesus into her heart.
Today she testifies with a big smile of joy on her face that since the day she received Jesus into her heart she has not seen poverty with which her family was gripped for the last several years. God is providing her daily needs. She has a farm where she cultivates and grows food for her family. She says that God has not only blessed her farm but also she is able to sell the produce and earn a living.
Her entire family came to know Lord Jesus through her living testimony. She is very active in the church and is a source of encouragement to several other village women. Praise God for her life.
