Early on in their lives, newly wedded and greatly in love, this couple fell into a difficult period in life. A great and terrible illness arose. It caused the woman terrible pain and severe nausea. Life seemed to be a constant struggle... at times she thought she would die. At times her husband felt so helpless and hopeless that he wished they would both die in some terrible accident. "Life is just too painful! All my dreams are dead! There is no hope, only pain!" He thought to himself.
Yet Jesus had never left the couple. Three years had gone by because the Holy Spirit was not yet finished working in their hearts, preparing them for a future whereby God would be glorified. Not only that, but Jesus had been with them the whole time! Even so, the couple cried out to him, "Jesus, don't you care that we are suffering greatly?! Where are you! Are you punishing us??!!! are you even real??!!"
As time moved on, the Holy Spirit worked in their hearts and lives. They were molded to be more like Christ. And the love they had for one another was strengthened. Jesus then healed the woman completely. For the work of the Holy Spirit was now complete. Then, he said to the couple, "Why have you been so terrified? Why have you no faith in me?! Do you not believe I won't let the pain continue any longer than it has to?!! I love you, and I will not waste this pain."
