“Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” Psalm 23:4

“Dear Sir/Madam,

I was hospitalised on the 16/03/16 at a hospital in Coventry for an operation. The surgeon came to the room and told me what the whole procedure will be and asked me to sign my consent, which I tepidly did. The anesthetists came and gave some warning and possible consequences of not recovering from the operation, again asked me to give my consent by signing, I did.

When they left I began to wonder what may possibly happen to me if something goes wrong during the procedure. Out of confusion I started opening the drawers possibly to store my belongings. Right inside the second drawer lies a blue book which I thought was more paperwork from the hospital, on second thought I decided to open it and it was a Bible.

I was so glad to see such a wonderful book at that particular moment of my life, being a Christian. I started opening it from page to page. I was so confused and undecided on what to read so I returned the book to the drawer.

I dozed off and when I woke up I picked up the Bible again and the first page I opened it to was Psalm 23. I started reading the verses, when I got to verse 4, I had goose bumps all over me. I paused and read it again.

It was so fascinating that I stopped and started crying in appreciation to God for caring for me despite my sinful state.

I have read that particular passage of the Bible over the years but I was so glued to its immediate and direct interpretation to me and the simple/clear use of English language adopted by The Gideons.

Good work, well positioned at the right place and at the right time.

May God bless you all,

Sunny”
