For as long as ten years, I had a pain that followed me through life without a single day of rest, leaving deep marks on me. From the moment I opened my eyes in the morning until I went to bed at night?and even while I was asleep?it would not let me go. The name of that suffering was chronic skin itching.
Years ago, when I was a construction worker, I began dyeing my hair with the simple wish of looking just a little younger. I never imagined that this decision would lead to such a long and deep tunnel of suffering. At first, I thought the itching was just a passing discomfort, but before I knew it, it had become part of my daily life. Breaking down the boundary between day and night, it finally settled in as a pain that gripped my entire life.
Even at night, after finishing an exhausting day and finally lying down to rest, the suffering would not let me go. The more I clenched my teeth and tried not to scratch, the more persistently the itching burrowed into me. I even thought, ‘It would be better to have visible wounds so that I might at least be able to explain this pain.’ Outwardly, I appeared fine, but this invisible suffering was quietly yet deeply consuming me, slowly wearing down my heart and mind.
I went from one hospital to another, changing medications and trying almost every treatment said to be effective, but the answers were always the same: “We don’t know the cause.” “Stop dyeing your hair.” I would smile on the outside and joke, “So you’re saying I have to live with gray hair all my life.” But inside, my heart was already completely worn out.
“Will this suffering ever end?” “Will I have to live like this for the rest of my life?” These questions never left my mind for even a single day, but followed me constantly like a shadow over my life. Then, on December 14, 2025, I registered at Manmin Central Church through the evangelism of deacon Kijoo Song. As I began attending church, the words of life delivered by pastor Soojin Lee became a decisive turning point that fundamentally changed the direction of my life, which had been bound in suffering for many years.
The focus of my life, which had been fixed only on problems and suffering, gradually shifted to a life that looks to the great and almighty God. From that moment on, in a corner of my heart, a light of hope?one I had never experienced before and could not fully explain?began to spring up.
Then, on December 22 of the same year, one of the members handed me the Muan Sweet Water, which had turned from bitter water (Exodus 15:25). I used it on my body in faith, desiring to be healed. This was my act of faith?no longer relying on human methods, but entrusting entirely to God the problem I had once felt forced to give up on.
After that, something unforgettable and amazing happened in my life. When I lay down to sleep, I no longer needed to scratch, and when I opened my eyes in the morning, the suffering that had tormented me for so many years had disappeared without a trace. The itching, whose cause had been unknown for ten years, had completely stopped. Hallelujah!
This was not merely a slight improvement. It was complete healing. In that moment, I clearly realized that a problem which could never be solved by human hands could be resolved in an instant by God’s touch. I give all thanks, praise, and glory to Father God who immediately ended the deep, long suffering that had gripped me for ten years. I am also deeply grateful to deacon Kijoo Song who led me to the church.
