I have shared about having a partial tear in my rotator cuff. I had an MRI in February in Georgia and the result was a partial tear. It caused me quite a bit of pain for several months and I have not had full range of motion. I did pray for it to be healed. It was not an every day consistent prayer, but I threw it in there a few times when it really bothered me. In July, I was able to go to an orthopedic doctor and I had another MRI on July 20th. The results for that MRI showed that there was NOT a tear in my rotator cuff.
WHAT???
That’s right NO TEAR AT ALL!!!
What was my reaction?
Instead of praising God for healing, I assumed that the Georgia doctor had lied about the results of the first MRI. I assumed that I never had a partial tear. Not until a couple of days ago did I give God any credit at all nor did I even once think it was a miracle.
Did God heal my shoulder?
I now believe He did. There is no other explanation for it. I deeply regret that that was not my first assumption. I missed the opportunity to use this testimony of God’s healing powers. I missed the blessing of praising Him for the miracle. I missed it and I can’t go back. It really is the worst feeling ever. Why did I not immediately jump for joy? Why did I assume the worst of someone else? I can only say that I am human and I make mistakes. I am now praising God for the healing and for answering my prayer. It’s still not 100% but the shooting pains are gone. I still don’t have full range of motion, but I can use it a lot more than I could a couple of months ago. I still have some arthritis, but the partial tear is gone and I thank God for miracles.
God is good! I can’t even begin to tell you how He has provided for me in my life time. I am eternally grateful that He chose me to be His child. I am horribly imperfect, but He loves me just as I am.
Glad your shoulder is getting better Patti.
