Limping

Didn't realise how painful it is when one's tendon is pulled. In my case it's the upper tigh left leg.

It was so painful that it was difficult to walk, bend my left leg, hence to wear trousers, wear socks and tying shoelaces. Simple things in life that I take for granted are now so difficult to perform!

Like any good Christian, I cried out to God, ask for forgiveness if this is due to my sin and then ask for divine healing. To God's glory, the pain last time did subside after praying and was able to go back to sleep.

This morning, I did visit the dr and he gave me 2 days of mc.

The other thing which came across my mind is that ...oh..
- what if I lose my leg?
- is the reason why this is happening is because God is preventing me from going to KL tonite - maybe plane will crash?
- now I know how it feels like to be handicapped bodily, at least to some degree.

it reminds me also of how when one seemingly small part of our body is not working, it greatly affects the whole body. - so now the better parts of my body takes the weight or strain of the weight of my whole body, etc.

it's like what Paul says in 1 Corinthians 12 about the Body of Christ! Remember church, we are the body, so learn to care for each part for if one part suffers, the rest suffers too!

I wonder how many local churches are not performing well today coz some or many parts are suffering due to neglect or being ill-treated, hence deglorifying God.

Lord, may your church, your bride learn to care for all the parts of her body well so that she can be the radiant bride, a beacon of light in the world filled with darkness.

So that instead of limping in this world and be a poor witness for you, she will be walking uprightly, elegantly and steadfastly for Your Glory!
