the rainbow connection

"...Whenever I bring the clouds over the earth, and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all the living creatures of every kind on the earth."
-Genesis 9:14-16
This is God's Covenant with Noah. Indeed, God blessed Noah richly, for Noah is a righteous and obedient man. This is really an encouraging episode to me and also serve as a reminder to me to be thankful for God's grace and not take things for granted.
Indeed, God is merciful and healed me as I cried out to him in pain. When I was so sickly and could not even lie down properly due to pain, I thought I was going to die. My throat was so painful that I could not even utter a prayer. I cried out to the Lord in a silent prayer in my heart.
"Lord! Heal me! Please, please take away the pain and suffering. I can endure the pain and continuous vomit no more. I'm too weak to even speak, but Lord, now I cry out to you in my heart. Father Lord, please send your holy spirit to touch and heal my body. I lift myself unto thy loving hands. In the almighty name of Jesus, I give thanks to you. Amen."
The Lord answered my prayers today. A miracle happened. I was healed even before I see another doctor for a second opinion today. Praise the Lord!
I saw the rainbow today. I saw it with my heart.
