Sharing Of Emotional Story
Actor Yul Edochie shares the profoundly touching story of a conversation he claims to have had with God in the wake of his son’s tragic passing.
Yul, who was devastated by his son’s passing, shared on his YouTube page that he was informed a few things by God, about his son’s death.
He claimed to have heard from God, who assured him of God’s unwavering love for him.
Yul Edochie asserted that God told him he was preparing him for a journey ahead of him and that in due course, he would comprehend.
“I was in my room all alone in my house in Lagos. I was all alone, I was heartbroken, shattered. This happened a few days after I lost my son. I was knocked out, just in my room, down, I couldn’t understand why it happened. God spoke to me, he said a couple of things to me. The first thing he said is that I shouldn’t think He doesn’t love me. I love you, and I have always loved you and I will always love you, but I have my reasons for letting this happen.
“He said I wouldn’t understand why this is happening now, at this point in your life, but in time to come, you will understand. Then He said again that I need the pain and he is taking me somewhere, on a journey and because of that journey I need the pain and the pain I was passing through is part of the process. He told me to give him praise, at all times and in all situations. You don’t know why I let it happen, but trust him and give him praise. God also said to me that it is okay to cry, but when I am done, I should get up, wipe my tears, and keep moving because I am a soldier”.
