delivered him. I searched allover for a medical solution to my<br />

son’s problem. There is no recommended hospital or doctor that<br />

I did not visit. However, wherever I went, I was told that there<br />

was no medical solution. I was to rely on God to heal my son. I<br />

then decided to place it as my prayer request to God. The night<br />

I spent at the prayer mountain, I had a dream after God had<br />

confronted the issues in my heart. In the dream, I saw myself<br />

walking in the corridor of our home. Then my son was running<br />

after me, calling me. Remember, at that time, he could neither<br />

walk nor talk in real life. In the dream, he held my dress, and at<br />

that moment a voice told me that the power of my repentance<br />

was going to make my son well. I took the word, got home and<br />

asked for forgiveness from all that I needed to ask it from.<br />

Only one month after that, I was sitting in my living room while<br />

the children played in another room. Suddenly I heard screams<br />

from the other room. I ran to see what the matter was, and there<br />

he was! My own Nathan was standing on his own. That day<br />

changed everything. Today he is in primary six. So, to me, the<br />

story of his life is a representation of restoration. I feel this book<br />

will reach many audiences, because I believe it is an outreach<br />

tool on forgiveness. Whoever reads it will be convicted to<br />

forgive, and then they will receive true salvation, and that is<br />

when they will enjoy all the benefits of God. If you love Jesus,<br />

you will be hated, just like He was. This life is a journey. The<br />

problems faced in this life seem like eternity to those who do<br />

not have Christ, but to us who have hope in Christ, they are but<br />

a passing phase. We also know that Satan is our biggest enemy<br />

and he is the author of all those troubles. He knows that his days<br />

are numbered, and he wants to take as many as he can with him.<br />

As for us, we are indebted to God in one thing – to love one<br />

another as He loved us. He loved us not because we were good,<br />

and so we too have to love one another unconditionally. It is not<br />

an option; it is a command that the Lord gave us.<br />

If we forgive one another, we can love one another, and then we<br />

will turn this world into a better place. It is not a very easy thing,<br />

but it is possible. My deepest desire is that people may live in<br />
