Free from skin discomfort

Angelina Dixon

A year ago, I had a healing that wasn’t just a healing, but an enlightening lesson. I had been having a recurring, painful issue with the skin on my hands. I didn’t know what it was at first, or why it was happening, but it made daily tasks and even sleeping difficult. It was uncomfortable to wash my hands, to give my baby boy a bath, or even to change his diapers. It was very frustrating.

At first I thought I could just cover the affected skin, hiding the irritation, and totally missed the idea that I needed to affirm my already perfect being as God made me. Weeks went by and nothing helped, including bandages, ointments, or lotions. I lost a lot of sleep because I would wake up scratching my hands.

When I finally found out the name of the problem by looking it up on the Internet, the situation felt worse. I realized I had let a “weed” grow in my “thought garden.” I was too afraid to even think of denouncing the problem and of claiming that it was not a part of me. But I still sensed deep down that this was not something God made—that this condition didn’t really belong to me.
