This afternoon at lunch, Donna and I were talking with another one of the ladies who had joined us at Bread Co when we both saw a lady with braces on both of her ankles. They were like the black flexible material. We both saw her at the same time, I lost my train of thought and stopped talking and looked at Donna. I kind of wanted her to say she would go with me... She didn't. So I didn't either.
I guess the question that runs in my head and will stop me from moving forward is whether or not they will get healed or not. I would rather not think about the "not". I know it is always God's will to heal, but sometimes I wonder if He will really do it when I ask. Yes, I know that the Word says He will. But what about the ones that don't get healed?
A lady earlier this week who had total hearing loss in one ear. We prayed for her and nothing happened. We prayed again and nothing happened. And again nothing happened! I know God wanted to heal her, just like He wants to heal everyone...but what do you do in that awkward moment after the instant healing doesn't happen?
Since that happens often, I have experienced that many times I always feel like I am offering platitudes when it doesn't happen right away... "Well, you might realize you feel better or your hearing returns by the time you get home, or when you get up in the morning or..." I think it is as frustrating for me as it is for the individual who didn't get their instantaneous miracle.
