Beth Prays For Healing

One day, Daddy and Mummy announced that the family was going on a holiday to Genting Highlands.

They would be taking a coach all the way, a journey of some 6 hours.

Beth was excited. She had always wanted to be on a bus, and she was finally getting her wish!

Genting turned out to be freezing cold, and they never strayed from the hotel, but Beth didn't mind.

Everyday, she would cajole Daddy and Mummy to take her on rides in the Indoor Theme Park.

There were so many rides and games to try: the carousel, the ferris wheel, the bumper cars (which was her favourite because she got to try different vehicles each time - an ambulance, a fire engine, a police car).

Beth never got tired of going on the same rides again and again.

Daddy and Mummy were exhausted though, as Beth would sometimes fall asleep on their way back to the hotel. Beth weighed 15 kg, as much as 3 bags of rice!

One day, after they'd taken the cable car down the hill into the valley and up again, Mummy started to feel unwell.
That afternoon, she went to bed and stayed there till evening.

Beth and Daddy went to the Indoor Theme Park where - you guessed it! - she tried out some more rides.

When they came back to the hotel room, Mummy had still not risen from the bed. Her forehead was very hot and so was her whole body.

Daddy said to Beth: "Mummy is having a high fever. Come and pray for Mummy."

The little girl picked up the New Testament which Mummy had left on the side table, and came over to the bedside.

Flipping open the Bible (and without being able to read a word), she proclaimed, "The Bible says, GOD will take away your fever."

Such a simple statement, yet such a powerful one.

The faith of a little child shone like a ray through the dark fog of Mummy's condition.

Daddy and Mummy smiled. She was beginning to feel just a teensy weensy bit better.

In heaven, Jesus smiled too. This is what He says:

Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.

I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
