Vitiligo: My Cry for Help
I have had vitiligo for the past 10 years of my life. It all started with a small white spot on my knee, and we initially brushed it off, thinking it was nothing. But with time, it started increasing, and I developed many more white patches on my body, especially on my hands and feet.
I started going to different doctors and tried so many different medications orally and topically, but nothing ever worked. I soon got to know that when you have vitiligo, the food you eat normally triggers these white patches, and I was under major restrictions on what I could and could not eat. I could barely eat any food that I pleased, and I was frustrated. And for years, I struggled with my appearance, and I also realised that the patches were starting to appear on my face. I cried and I begged God to have mercy on me and spare me, since I didn’t think I could take it. And he did not let that white spot that was developing on my face grow.
And then the big miracle happens. This took place 2 years ago. I attended a retreat in Kerala, India. And I begged God not to abandon me and not ignore my cry for help, and to heal me. The preacher there said that when we want to ask God for anything, we should completely humble ourselves before him, and that’s what I did. As I was in prayer doing the adoration in the retreat, I told God that I was nothing compared to Him and that the dust stuck on his sandals when he was walking the earth is worth way more than I am. As soon as I said that, in a short while, the priest took my name along with a few other people and that that God is changing our lives and that we should be close to Him.
I was over the moon; I was so happy. It felt like God had fought my battle and won it. I heard an inner voice saying that I do not have to follow my diet any longer, and I felt a voice saying Isaiah 43:1,
“I have called you by name, you are mine”.
That day was the happiest day of my life, and I was so filled with joy and peace. I haven’t been completely healed of my vitiligo yet, but I sure can eat anything I want to without worrying at all. I know that one day my Jesus will completely free me. For by his stripes, we are healed.
Try God.
