701. The One Who Performed the Miracle of Love through Me as His Instrument Is None Other than the Lord!

💌 701. The One Who Performed the Miracle of Love through Me as His Instrument Is None Other than the Lord!

Mr. Rufino stayed at my house for a few days, and I prayed for him with love. He also seemed to have received a lot of grace, praying earnestly while shedding tears. After praying earnestly day and night for three days, he no longer had the severe cough, and his face brightened up.

“Julia! I do not cough anymore. While we were praying, many painful wounds I had experienced in the past came to mind. I traveled across mountains, fields, and seas praying, but the wounds that had not been healed were all healed after praying with you. I cried so much, I cannot even tell how much. Thank you, all of this is thanks to you, Julia.”

I was sure that he had been healed, so I said, “You should go to the hospital and get checked. The Lord has surely healed you.” I told him to go to Naju Hospital. “Okay, of course, I will go,” he replied. I was working at the beauty parlor when Mr. Rufino, who had gone to the hospital that morning, came back.

“Julia! Thank you! I am completely healed!” he said, and told me what happened at the hospital. “I got an X-ray and had tests, and the hospital director said to me, ‘There is nothing wrong, how can I help you?’ and he was smiling!” I was so, so happy to hear that. 

I said, “I did not do anything. The good Lord loves you so much that He has healed you, so give thanks to Him alone.” I thought he would return to Docho, but suddenly he said, “Julia, I would like to go somewhere with you.” Having been unable to work properly for three days, I felt very sorry for the hairdressers, and I was in a difficult position to leave again.

“Where?” I asked. “Just follow me for now,” he said. “There are many customers here…” “It will only take a moment, just follow me for now,” he insisted. I was feeling really troubled, but I could not refuse his request, so I was about to leave immediately. But when my mother saw me getting ready to leave, she seemed displeased and said a word.

“Dear, why on earth does that president keep trying to drag you along every time he comes, even though you are busy working and have to take care of customers at the parlor? He is a completely inconsiderate man.” I replied, “I am sorry, mother. He said it would be quick, so I will go and come back soon,” and I left the parlor. When I asked, “Where are we going?” He said, “I need to buy something at the religious articles shop.”

When we arrived at the shop, Mr. Rufino said, “Julia, I am so grateful that I want to give something to you and your family as a gift. Since there are no medical expenses anymore, feel free to choose whatever you want.” I was surprised and said, “No, it is okay. I do not need anything. I have everything I need.” I had never accepted anything in return for praying for someone.

It is because the one who performed the miracle of love through me, an inadequate person, as an instrument, is none other than our Lord. Since I repeatedly declined, he said, “Then at least choose a one-decade rosary, I want to give a rosary to you and your family as a gift. Yes?” A one-decade rosary did not cost much, but I absolutely did not want to receive it.

So I said, “No, it is really okay. I absolutely will not accept it. We already have rosary beads.” and kept refusing right to the end. That’s because—even if it were a gift worth only a penny—receiving it might overshadow the glory and gratitude that belong to the Lord. However, the greater reason was that I myself absolutely disliked receiving such gifts.

So I said, “President, the glory should only go to the Lord.” This was my firm resolution that I would never accept anything in return for my prayers. Even so, he persistently insisted on buying it for me. After a while of going back and forth with each other, I became anxious, thinking that I needed to quickly return to my beauty parlor.
