He Showed Me He Was Right There

I have a big fear of the Dentist. It has always been a struggle for me to go. I haven’t been there for years; I have always avoided it. A small cavity-infected tooth turned into a full-blown root canal infection with several infected teeth. When I finally decided to go four months ago, it was because my cheek was swollen, and I was basically forced to go to avoid further, worse inflammation.

Long story short, it wasn’t that bad but due to all the stress in fear for me, it was horrible. I was alone and scared and the anesthesia made me feel nauseous. When I got out, I slowly walked to the bus, on the edge of tears, due to the anesthesia made me cry. Which I didn’t know at the time, which made things 10 times worse. I felt alone in that moment.

Till I walked past a man.

He was handing out flyers. He was maybe 49 – 50. I´m not sure if he spoke my language, and I didn’t care at that moment. I took one without looking at it really and kept slowly walking.

When I looked down at it, it was a flyer about God, joining a church and explaining what true healing was. I felt him right with me at that moment. I knew I wasn’t alone after that. He showed me that when I was all alone and broken, he was right there, not leaving my side under whatever circumstances. He showed me that he would help me through it and is always on my side.
