Ouch!

In my haste to grab the hot casserole out of the microwave, I used my bare hands and burned my fingertips. Then I sliced the back of another finger while cutting a tomato.

For someone clumsy like me, these are almost daily occurrences. Thankfully, the pain subsides and the injury heals.

Ever since learning about the miracle of skin (from a creationist, by the way), I’ve never seen my slip-ups the same. If I slice through the outer layer, the next layer (the dermis) whips into action. Little engineers repair and reweave tissue in a choreographed dance.

The same Christ who healed the paralytic at the pool of Bethesda designed my skin to heal itself. He cares about me, even when I’m careless.
