“Grandfather, Be Healed!”

CBN.com — Ten-year-old, Vidhi, loves playing with her grandfather.  When he suddenly became ill, she was heartbroken.
 
Vidhi explained, "His hands and legs started hurting a lot.  So when he could not walk for several months, I fed him and took care of him."

Vidhi's grandfather was diagnosed with severe diabetes, which caused partial paralyses.  The medication prescribed for him did not help.  He had to give up his job as a gardener for the government, and could no longer provide for his family.  So Vidhi’s mother got a job at a tailoring center run by a local church.  She found out that the church also ran a youth group and thought Vidhi would enjoy it.

Vidhi said, "When I went there, I learned how to dance, sing songs, pray and read the Bible.  They also showed us SuperBook.  One of the stories was about a man who was paralyzed.  Jesus told him, 'Your sins are forgiven, get up.'  And immediately the man stood up!  So I believed that if I prayed to Jesus, He would listen to my prayers and heal my grandfather."

Vidhi also asked the pastor for help.

The pastor explained, "As a church, we began to pray for him.  Then I talked to him and read him scriptures about God's healing power."

Vidhi's grandfather said, "Then he prayed for me.  And all of a sudden, I started getting better."

"It wasn't long until he got up and started walking," said the pastor.

In less than a month, Vidhi's grandfather felt so well that he went back to work.  Both he and Vidhi have no doubt who healed him.

Vidhi's grandfather said, "I knew Jesus healed me after my granddaughter and the church prayed for me.  So I asked Him to be my one, true God."

Vidhi said, "After my grandfather was healed, I prayed to Jesus to come into my heart.  I wanted to live as His child from that day on."

Vidhi is praying for the rest of her family to give their lives to Christ too. 

"My brother likes it a lot when I read him stories from the Bible and watch SuperBook with him," said Vidhi.  "He sees how happy I have been ever since I accepted Jesus into my life."
