Darkest Before Dawn

  • Article by Mandy Chew

I share my testimony with a grateful heart, believing that it will not only help you feel God's love and power but also bring you encouragement and hope in your faith journey.
 

In 2012, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. This was a huge blow for me (as it would be for anyone else). However, it was not the end. In 2014, the cancer cells spread to both my lungs.

 

At that time, I chose not to undergo chemotherapy but to take hormone medication which caused severe emotional swings and physical discomfort. I was unable to work due to my health and as a single mother, life during that period was extremely difficult, with the future looking very bleak indeed.

However, in 2017, my life took a turn. I was baptised and became a Christian. Although I was still suffering from physical illness and emotional issues, the seed of faith had already taken root in my heart.

 

By 2022, the Holy Spirit moved me to return to the church and reconcile with God. I actively participated in church gatherings and began earnestly studying God's Word. During this process, I deeply felt God’s presence and His love. 

 

This experience gave me a profound understanding of God's love and power. 
 

God's grace began to manifest in my life – not only did I receive immense comfort spiritually, but my physical condition also started to improve. Miraculously, my health gradually recovered, and the cancer cells in my lungs began to disappear. I firmly believe this is God's grace and healing, a miracle that God performed in my life! This experience gave me a profound understanding of God's love and power. 

 

In my darkest moments, God never abandoned me but instead showed me His grace in various ways. He made me realise that no matter the challenges we face, we should never lose hope because God's love is infinite, and His healing is miraculous. Amen!
