fighting for a good cause

jus though og blogging a short shory i heard today. a real story, but it reminded me of God's love.

my lecturer is an onco trained nurse. ( someone who is trained in oncology[cancer].) there's this girl, 21yrs old, studyin in nus medical school - future doctor to be. she was diagnoised with leukaemia (blood cancer) n was in icu. she went thru bone marrow transplant, but it was not successful. she had multiple organ failure. literately, she was go going gone kind. she's only surviving on the ventilitor that breathe for her artifically. the life support machine.

her dad is a CEO of a multinational company (MNC) locally. when her dad visit her. she was on 2 support machines, having 4 infusion line connecting into her body, running at the same time, she was on full body monitoring, and life support machine. hwe whole body was swelling. she was unconscious.

her dad came in with the hosp CEO one day n looked at her daughter. the father asked my lecturer, "is she gonna make it" she answered " she's not doing well" then he told her. "turn off the ventilator".

for a father, to watch his own precious daughter gasping for air, n slowly stop breathing in front of him, is tremendous pain. no father wil ever, ever want to let his own child go. but he know, by doing that, the drugs that are used on his daughter can be used on other patient, knowing that she is in pain n most prob wil not make it. he chose to end it earlier n let other patients that have a higher chance to survive with those drugs.

God is our Father. but He is also Jesus's Father. yet for us, He watched His own Son go thru the whipping, the shame, the crixufication right before His eyes. for our sake, He allowed His Son to die for us, so that we can live. jus like the father in the story. he allowed his daughter to live him, so that the medications can be used to save other people's life.

this is how much God loves us. to bear the pain of watching His only Son die(physically) before His eyes.
