Miracles on me

My leg condition has become worse but God has never withdrawn His care from me. I wanted to walk from Centrepoint to Paragon but was afraid that the walk would be too exerting for my legs. Nonetheless, I felt that if I took it slowly, I would be able to do it.

I did it a step at a time and God made it possible. He even gave me the strength to walk around Metro and Marks and Spencer. I did all these without resting one bit. It was a spiritual lesson whereby I learned that taking one step at a time with God will ultimately lead me to my destination.

On the walk back, I made use of the much treasured benches along the pavement to rest my legs. It was a realistic decision rather than an urgent decision. I just took time out to relax and savour the biscuits I had bought. It was a little refreshment for me before I continued on my walk back. Upon reaching my destination, I thanked God for the miracle He had showered unto me - strength to walk the distance to and fro, and more.

I had to go for mass later in the evening. When I was asked the question of what Our Lady would see in my heart, I replied with three words: yearning, faith and hope. I desired God's healing on my legs and was sure that He would do so. This is another gift from God; that of faith.

The last miracle was when I went up the steps to the choir entrance without any strain. I was afraid I would feel pain while doing so, but lo and behold, God showed me otherwise. Praise Him! He further showed His love by giving me His anointing through the priest.

Anointing can give the person different things. For my case, it may seem to be physical healing. However, it was something I needed more. I received peace, reinforced faith and strength from the Spirit towards the perception of my condition. Somehow, the word "courage" seems to emerge though I have yet to feel its power :S

God further reaffirmed the faith He gave me. "Nothing is impossible with God," the angel Gabriel told Mary. That line struck me as it was read. I feel it was an answer from God to the fear of not being able to walk one day, which I had offered Him. :)

I am thankful to God too for blessing my legs with the ability to recover quickly from the pain and strain. Most importantly, He has provided for me, in the sense that one leg is always better than the other and can be used to support the weaker one :D It is as if my legs are taking turns to support each other :)
