"The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life."
Job 33:4 (KJV)
This miracle story made the news. Twins were born, but the parents were told one of the twins would not make it. She was too weak. The nurse tending to the baby would make sure the twins were together each chance she got. It was noticed that every time she had the twins together, the vitals of the dying twin began to improve. She kept putting the twins together, and the weaker twin grew stronger.
Eventually, the stronger twin was doing well enough to go home. The nurse spoke to the parents, told them what she had witnessed, and suggested that when they came to visit the sick twin, they would bring the other twin for some contact with her sister. The father was skeptical, but the mother wanted to try everything possible. In Matthew 19:26, Jesus said, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
From the very first visit, the mother noticed how the weaker twin’s heartbeat improved from the moment her twin sister hugged her in that tiny hospital crib. The mother stayed longer and longer each day and, at times, overnight until her dying daughter was given the green light to go home.
Only God knows what was occurred each time that twin made contact with her sister, but we witnessed a miracle that science cannot explain.
Our Creator tells us in Hebrews 10:25 that we are not to stop meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but that we should be encouraging one another—especially as we get close to His soon return. This command is for our own well-being. Community, family, and friends are essential to our mental and emotional health.
