My Mum suffered from corns on her foot. She was totally frustrated with this callused patch of hard, thickened skin and could not get relief. One day I invited her to Church and a woman spoke on healing. Invitations were given to come forward but my Mum, although interested in everything the woman had said about God’s healing grace, didn’t go forward. I talked with her and asked her why she didn’t go forward and have prayer for her callused foot. She said, "God would not be interested in my corns". We told her that He was interested in everything about her. Later that night, as once again she experienced frustration with her foot, she prayed that God would heal her. She related to us later how God healed her completely even though she had experienced these corns for some time. God demonstrated to her that He was interested in even the smallest things in her life.
