Healing - Little Finger

Forgive me, Lord for even I find it hard to believe. How do I expect my blog readers to believe then? Believe what?

(Was going to post a pic of my little finger and discovered I can't load pics easily to blogger from my PC anymore. Super annoying. Aaaaarrrgggh! I got around it by going to 'html' format and uploading then switching back to 'compose' -- just in case you're facing the same issue)

My humble unmanicured little finger in its back-to-normal state

Anyway, back to this. I've been having pain in the top knuckle of my little finger. For some reason, my left little finger has been sticking out like a sore 'thumb' (only it's not the thumb but the little finger). It's been stiff and 'unbendable'. Because it's been stiff, I've actually jammed the whole finger into solid surfaces (while doing chores) and suffered excruciating pain shooting through the finger. How silly. Don't ask me how it's possible but after having jammed it into something a couple of times, the uppermost knuckle started to swell a little and feel painful. I've been wondering if I've actually fractured it or something (imagine the effect of poking your solid stiff finger into a solid surface at a great force).

After my experience with my fractured toes (where I could do nothing but let it heal naturally), I was sitting at my table this morning, just wondering if it'd take 6-8 weeks or so to heal naturally (if there really is a fracture). I pressed the knuckle again and the pain was excruciating. So I just grasped the whole finger with my other hand and asked Jesus to send His healing.

It was instant. The healing that is. I kid you not. Not even I can believe it. I am quite in awe. Don't get me wrong. I BELIEVE that Jesus CAN heal. Without a doubt, I do believe. I just didn't quite expect it to be instant. No pain, no stiffness immediately after the prayer. It's totally been healed. Thank you, Jesus. Praise God, I am humbled by your love. I know you have sent me a sign.

I do not think it's a coincidence that I received this sign from God today. He knew I needed discernment about something that's been bugging me for a few months now. Also, Mike and I had happened to have a conversation about healing whilst walking from our carpark to our flat last night. Only Mike knows what I needed discernment about. We'd just come back from our Charismatic Prayer Group meeting. Early days yet to say anything. All I can do is wait upon the Lord. It is He who gives me strength where I think I can't possibly have strength! All things are possible through Him. All glory is His! : )
