My older daughter had a procedure for her Chalazion a year before last summer. During the procedure, her ophthalmologist had to make a small incision inside of her upper lid to drain the fluid and remove the material which was collected within her cyst. For some reason, her procedure didn’t go well, as her cyst remained on her upper right eyelid.
We waited for at least a year to see if her cyst would go on its own, but it didn’t. My daughter and I then decided to get a second opinion from an ophthalmologist and a third opinion from an optometrist last summer. After meeting with them, they both said there was nothing they could do now, as it was more of a cosmetic issue than medical. They both confirmed that something went wrong at the time of the procedure, so she had to live with a cyst now. I felt bad about my daughter’s eye situation and felt helpless to see her perfect eye being ruined. One eye looked smaller than the other. Out of my frustration, I blamed the doctor for not doing the procedure right and messing up her eye. When I took my prayer request to the Lord and asked Him to heal my daughter’s eye, He made me realize that I was holding unforgiveness and bitterness towards the ophthalmologist. I had to let go of all that negativity I was holding against her, forgive her from my heart, and bless her. It was definitely a “Wake Up Call” for me from God. After I did what the Lord asked me to do, it didn’t take long for Jesus to bring healing to my daughter’s eye. In no time, her cyst on her eyelid dissolved supernaturally. Thank you, Jesus! Her both eyes look normal and beautiful! No more cosmetic surgery is needed to fix her eye. Lord is AMAZING! My lesson from this experience is that anytime we hold unforgiveness and grudges against others, knowingly or unknowingly, we inadvertently block our prayers from getting answered from God. Jesus wants to bless us, as He loves us so much, but our wrong actions hold Him back to give the very things we desire to have. This reminds me of the Bible verse from Psalm 51: 1-2, “Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.”
