TUMOR (01-15-11)

Mark 2:17
“Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do. I did not come to call the righteous but sinners.”
-----------------------------------------------------------

I recently had a cyst sticking out of my head. It was only the size of a pin head but grew up to about a half inch in diameter after about 3 months. And how did it happen? Simply because I thought I can “cure” it. I thought it would just heal by itself and be cut-off.

But such was not the case. And so I sought a doctor’s diagnosis and the decision was made. It had to be removed by surgical operation. And so I readied myself and subject myself to a professional’s help.

And only after an hour, my problem of 3 months was gone. I really hated myself for letting I drag for so long when all I have to do is to see a doctor who is far more knowledgeable about the issue than me.

Our spirit, like our body, undergoes the same problem. It gets sick also, because of all the sins we committed. We may not see it, but we constantly feel it because of the heaviness of our heart. But instead of seeking a physician’s help, we just ignore the pain and go on with our lives, thinking it would heal by itself.

Until it is too late. We suddenly see ourselves drowning in fear for we do not know what to do anymore. The devil has totally controlled our heart and our life.

Seek the help of the greatest physician, who is the Lord Jesus Christ. Let Him operate on you to take away those fears, those pain, those sins. The salvation that Jesus offered is for all. But he gave it first to those who are poor in spirits – for He “did not come to call the righteous, but sinners”.

May we, too, live by faith, and not by assumption. We are sinners - spend more time with Him, let us follow Him and earn the promise of Heaven.

Almighty Father, Your Word is life to me and health to my spirit. Jesus Christ is my Lord and I'm a product of His love. I have joy, I have peace. Knowing that I am a sinner, so I seek His love more. Amen +

Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life.
