Healed of effects from a fall
I’m very grateful for the immediacy and effectiveness of relying on God’s healing power.
One Sunday afternoon early last summer, I took my dog for a walk around the neighborhood. On our return trip home, as we followed the usual route, I misjudged my step up onto the curb and went stumbling face forward onto the concrete sidewalk. After taking a moment to collect myself, I was able to get up and continue the short distance to my home—all the time assuring myself of God’s presence with me. I was immediately grateful that there didn’t seem to be any broken bones.
Although my nose began to bleed after the fall, the bleeding stopped just a short time after I went into the house. The Bible verse “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear” (I John 4:18) had come to me, and I held on to that as I cleaned myself up.
