Losing Sight, Finding Faith

Losing Sight, Finding Faith

By Cynthia Cheong

Having experienced rapid deterioration of my eyesight due to an auto-immune disease is truly terrifying. I’ve been asked how did I cope with visual impairment as it would’ve affected every area of my life including my sanity! The honest answer is that it’s my Christian faith that kept me together. I’ve experienced the deep loving kindness of a Trinity God whose enduring living words kept me positive throughout an unimaginable crisis. He led me to his sweet rest. My prayer is as I share my story, it will encourage you in your times of trouble that you are not alone.
