GOD - THE ULTIMATE GREAT COMFORTER

It was a pleasant surprise hearing such lovely news from my former High School classmate in Pangasinan. Brother Max Febraine aka ‘Baak’, the Ilocano (dialect) term of “fermented or the rotten one”, as he is fondly called until these days (no pun intended) emailed me a couple of months ago. Max eagerly shared his recently manifest of faith, joy and warmth acceptance of our only Lord, the Almighty Father as his real Ultimate Savior. Though at first, I found it queer to fathom, but in the end, I quickly realized that truly to his words and experiences, this man is quite serious.

I said to myself, “this is amazing!” as memories vividly flash in my mind.

While as a student, Max was an epitome of a jester as he enjoyed bantering remarks. But he has also this sanguine disposition which complements his ability to jive along with anyone. Sometimes he was an unusual guy who just kept quiet but most of the time, he cracked jokes. Born with skills in the fields of Science and Mathematics, Max is a computer wizard and an attest inventor. Long before IT era, he had been obviously gifted to be at par in some series of electronics & automation. I strikingly recall during which we, as his classmates memorized boring & confusing formulas, Max differs from the rest of us, in a sense that he usually analyzed very well these sets of algebraic symbols and then come out something worthy from it. While we, his friends, tuned in and listened to great sounds thru radio, he was in his nooks busy assembling electronic parts into transmitters that turned out to be units of simplified radios and robots. And mind you, that was the 70s. That’s how cool he was!

As we parted ways and entered College, we lost track of each other.

After several years, I accidentally bumped into him in a local University wherein I supposed to work. This time, he was already an engineer and a highly equipped System Analyst / Instructor teaching IT courses.

He was in a hurry and I could see him very much career oriented and dedicated to his job.

Then, I never heard from him again until the Year 1997.

I apparently had a chance to catch up with him once more. This time was thru the net. We had a brief chat as we talked most about his passion on his work and the whereabouts of our dear peers. He said that he was up into robotics and zealously working with international companies inventing and designing mechanical device for commercial purposes. He was so focused in his choice of profession that to be honest, it will not cross my mind this fellow can be a missionary of God one day. On my own perspective, I couldn’t imagine that an inventor is the first person in my thought who could testify about the impact of God’s love. But I was completely wrong. Now, my mindset was definitely changed.

It was the Year 2003. His doctor wise self restraintly said "I regret to inform you Max, you have acquired a dreadful cancer".

What? CANCER? Will that not break you into small pieces or crush you from your normal form? Initially, he was devasted. PRAYERS! PRAYERS! FAITH! FAITH! TRUST! TRUST

After his renewal of faith and trust on God and his moving towards his FATHER's arms, the little child in him found his Ultimate Comforter.

The ONLY ONE God the Healer helped him fought the battle.

He victoriously WON!

Now, Max continue to tell his STORY! on HOW GOD PROVED HIS LOVE, on HOW GOD PROVED HIS POWER, On HOW GOD PROVED THAT HE IS THE ONLY MIGHTY ONE and our ONLY FATHER!

God indeed works in a very mysterious way, in His time and in the accordance of His will. I strongly believe that our Heavenly Father use brother Max as an instrument to share His Living Word to testify about God’s blessings and mercy and His faithfulness on us. God showed that He, The Mighty One, has billion more than the entire equivalent and the Infinite Power of the universe that neither Science nor Math nor any inventions of human beings could leap beyond His undoubted Greatness. God touch my heart to believe and rely in Him forever as more and more people like brother Max had experienced and kept on experiencing His Amazing Grace.

I pray, dear brethren that you too would be touched by the Holy Spirit. And I pray that you will be wholly blessed by HIM upon reading Brother Max’s touching testimony. Thank you for your precious time in reading the message.

Praise the Lord!
