Eye Opener

Reading Bo Sanchez's weekly blog, "Practical Soulfood for Successful People" was a real eye opener for me. Since I am plagued with sickness right now, I chose to read the entry "Do You Want God to Heal You?". Yes, I wanted God to heal me. Even if chickenpox is viral in nature, I know God wanted the varicella virus to infect me so that I will open my eyes to what he wants me to see. I may have acted blind before, but I should not be anymore. I was spiritually sick and my only medicine is God's loving healing.

He wants me to locate the wound. He wants me to cleanse the wound. He wants me strengthen my body.. Because of these reasons... He wants me to be closer to Him. He wants me to pray more. He wants me to trust Him more. He wants me to live according to His Will. He wants me to love Him more.

From now on, every time I sense a physical symptom of a spiritual sickness, I should say this little prayer, " I feel totally, completely, perfectly loved by God." Of course, I should not forget how I was touched by the story of Gemma Pasimio, the cancer survivor. She lost everything, but she gained something more valuable --- inner peace and God's love. Her final testimony said: "With God at my side, I live one day at a time. Everyday is such a beautiful gift from Him. And I enjoy each day so much. I’m happy and at peace. God is my healer and I give my life to Him."
