'No,' Says God
SAN FRANCISCO–For as long as
he can remember, 7-year-old Timmy Yu has had one precious dream: From the
bottom of his heart, he has hoped against hope that God would someday hear his
prayer to walk again. Though many thought Timmy's heavenly plea would never be
answered, his dream finally came true Monday, when the Lord personally
responded to the wheelchair-bound boy's prayer with a resounding no.
Wheelchair-bound Timmy Yu, who
finally received his long-awaited reply from God.
"I knew that if I just
prayed hard enough, God would hear me," said the joyful Timmy, surrounded
by stuffed animals sent by well-wishing Christians from around the globe, as he
sat in the wheelchair to which he will be confined for the rest of his life.
"And now my prayer has been answered. I haven't been this happy since
before the accident, when I could walk and play with the other children like a
normal boy."
God's response came at
approximately 10 a.m. Monday, following a particularly fervent Sunday prayer
session by little Timmy. Witnesses said God issued His miraculous answer in the
form of a towering column of clouds, from which poured forth great beams of
Divine light and the music of the Heavenly Hosts. The miraculous event took
place in the Children's Special Care Ward of St. Luke's Hospital, where Timmy
goes three times a week for an excruciating two-hour procedure to drain excess
fluid from his damaged spinal column.
Said Angela Schlosser, a day
nurse who witnessed the Divine Manifestation: "An incredible, booming
voice said to Timmy, 'I am the Lord thy God, who created the rivers and the
mountains, the heavens and the earth, the sun and the moon and the stars. Before
Me sits My beloved child, whose faith is that of the mustard seed from which
grows mighty and powerful things. My child, Timmy Yu, I say unto you thus: I
have heard your prayers, and now I shall answer them. No, you cannot get out of
your wheelchair. Not ever."
Paralyzed in a 1996 auto
accident that also claimed the lives of both his parents, Timmy has served as a
shining example to his fellow churchgoers at Lord In Heaven On High Church,
inspiring others with his simple, heartfelt devotion. Now that Timmy has
received an answer, Christians the world over are celebrating his story as a
stirring testament to the power of faith.
"The Lord has answered a
little boy's plea to know if he would ever walk again, and that answer was
no," Rev. H. Newman Gunther of the San Francisco School Of Divinity said.
"For years, this boy had been plagued by the question of whether or not he
would ever walk, and now Our Lord, in his wisdom and mercy, has forever laid to
rest any lingering doubt. Young Timmy can rest assured in the immutable truth
that the Lord has bestowed upon him. Now and for all time, he finally knows
that he will never escape the cruel prison of his chair of iron, for God hath
willed it so. Praise be to God!"
God.
Asked for comment, God said:
"This kind-hearted child's simple prayer hath moved Me. Never before have
I seen such faith. His trusting soul, so full of innocent devotion to Me, hath
offered seventy times seven prayers asking, 'God? Can I please walk again?' It
was indeed right and fitting that I, in My infinite wisdom, should share with
him the One True Answer to this long-repeated question he put before Me."
"My will be done,"
God added.
Witnesses to the miracle said
Timmy begged God for several minutes to change His mind and heal his shattered
vertebrae, but the Lord stood firm.
