The tragic tragedy that occurred on July 20, 2012 several years ago attracted the attention of the whole world. The shooting case during Premiere Batman: The Dark Knight Rises in Colorado, United States, killed 12 people. One of the shooting victims was a woman named Petra Anderson. Four bullets hit her body and one hit her head and hit her brain.
Her family could only pray and hope that a miracle would happen. The hospital immediately carried out intensive treatment and carried out an operation to remove the bullet. How shocked the medical team was because something unexpected happened. It turns out that Petra has an abnormality, namely there is a cavity filled with fluid in front of her brain. The fluid in the cavity was flowing near her brain. The bullet ended up only lodged in his cranial bone, which protects the brain. The deadly shot that hit Petra did not lead to her death. Petra’s genetic abnormalities in the brain did not lead to her death.
In general, we always think of abnormalities in the body as defects and shameful disgrace. In this story of Petra Anderson, God teaches us that every part of our body is always useful, even Petra’s disabled body parts can save her life. It is precisely the shortcomings that we consider a disgrace, that may be able to help us from certain problems.
We can imagine what would have happened if Petra did not have a genetic disorder in her brain, maybe now she is no longer living in this world. Every human being has advantages and disadvantages of each. We can see that the life stories of those who have shortcomings exist to strengthen others. They use their shortcomings as a tool to achieve success.
Are we still complaining or feeling inferior about our shortcomings? Are we still disappointed and angry with God because of our shortcomings? God says that He works in all things for good for us. It is time for us to open our eyes and see the hand of God for our shortcomings; Opening our eyes and seeing God’s miraculous hand can turn every weakness of our life into something that benefits us.
Accept every shortcoming that we have and be grateful to God, because one day God will use our shortcomings to bring glory to His name. The things we cry about today may be things we will be grateful for someday. “We know now that all things work together for good to those who love Him, to those who are called according to God’s purpose.”
