Spot On The Eye Gone · Sunday 7 June 2026

I wasn't going to get up today, but I felt I had to. Whatever is going on in your life, thank God, praise him — however bad it seems, don't feel hard done by, just thank him.

When I first came to this church I was in pretty poor health, with a number of things wrong with me. I've shared this before, but I'll say it again. I had a predicament at work: I used to open the back door of the van and thought the light was flashing — I assumed there was a blinking bulb. Then one day I was in the bath at home and the light was flashing again, and I thought, "This is weird." Then I realised it was my eye — my eye was flickering.

So I went to the doctors, and they sent me to an eye specialist. They found a black spot on my eye and didn't know what it was. I had loads of appointments; they thought it was either a bleed or diabetes, all these things. I had to go once a month to Watford so they could monitor whether it was getting any worse. It was a real worry. I kept going every month, and nothing changed over six, seven, eight-week periods.

On the final visit, they put the drops in and did the eye test — A, B, C, D, E, F, G. I'd never been able to read all of it before. But this time they said, "Start at the bottom," the small print — and I read it all. They said there was no need to read the rest. Then he said, "I'm discharging you. The spot on your eye has completely disappeared. It's actually been gone for the last few appointments, but we wanted to be sure." I said, "That's a miracle. I've been born again — God's cured it." She said, "Oh, I don't think it's God." I said, "Explain it then. What was it?" They didn't really know. But we all know what it was. I thank the Lord.
