"My arm was totally healed"

Arista Danielle Songue

One Sunday morning about two years ago, I burned my right arm. It was breakfast time, and I meant to take away a pan of boiling water from the stove. To do so, I pulled on a rag that I was going to use to hold the pan. But I didn't know that the rag was secured with a knot to the side of the stove. By pulling the rag, I knocked the boiling water on my arm.

I started crying and went to see my grandmother. I showed her my arm.

She said, “Remember you are God's reflection, His perfect idea.” But I didn't want to listen to what she was saying. I was still crying.
