Off it came!
After my family had just moved to a new town and school, I noticed a wart on my right hand. At first I thought it would just go away or that I could scratch it off. But it stayed on. So I knew I had to pray about it.
I knew that there is no imperfection in God. And since I'm His reflection, I couldn't have anything God didn't have. Also in my prayers, I understood that my goal was not to get rid of a wart but to get rid of the thought that God made anything ugly that could appear on my hand.
A couple of weeks later I was in the bathtub washing my hands, and brushed my thumb across the wart. Off it came! I dried off in a hurry and ran downstairs to tell my family about this healing. I'm grateful for this and many other healings I've had, including blood poisoning, a deep cut on my chin, and a sprained finger.
