An Amputee Healed

A few weeks ago, an atheist sarcastically asked me if I've ever seen an amputee be healed.

Before I could answer me, he asked another sarcastic question.

Now, for an atheist, when they say healed, they mean a limb re-growing. While I know that God is more than capable of causing a limb to re-grow, I believe that healing can come in the form of mentally and spiritually. God not only allowing the person to deal with losing a limb, but helping and inspiring others, and giving glory to God, despite the loss of a limb. What a testimony it is when a person who is an amputee or has some disability and gives praise to God for their life.

A pessimist might argue that an amputee is not healed unless the limb grows back. But if an amputee is perfectly content and thankful to God for their life, what is the difference if they were an amputee or not?

Let me put it this way: An amputee who is an amputee, but is content and thankful to God may still prefer to have all their limbs. In this life, every person may prefer to have something more. For example, even though I have all my limbs and am very thankful to God, I would prefer to have the physical attributes of Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps and the looks of Brad Pitt.

Every person in this world has something about them that they wish was better. Some may be short a limb or two, and others might be just short. But those who understand that God has given them life and are thankful no matter what their circumstance is does not let their short comings affect them.

Please watch this inspiring video of an amputee who is thankful for his life:

I get the feeling that people who have all their limbs are more worried about amputees than amputees themselves.
