I went to the doctor today for a problem I've been having with my knee. Every time I run, I get arthritis in my left knee. It turns out that I have a post-traumatic knee injury from a rollerblade injury I had about 4 years ago during a skate competition. At the time, the injury hindered my walking for about 2 months. I thought it had healed.
How many times in our spiritual lives do we think that we have gotten over something only to find it keeping us from reaching our fullest potential in Christ?
Needless to say, there are exercises to strengthen my knee so I can get back into running.
