Healing
The philosophy of pain healing pain is absurb. But if you look into human context, it is very true.
Take for example a child going for a jab. Just when the needle goes in, he bites his finger. The pain he feels is the pain of the finger but not of the injection.
Likewise, when we ask healing from the Lord, he heals because he as already suffered. Do not hold on to the wound we have but give it to God. When there is this exchange, we will be healed when the Lord takes this pain.
Pain means life. Go around pinching others and they would respond. They are alive aren't they? If you pinch a dead man, will he respond? No. Therefore, pain is life. If we don't have pain, we have no life. A little less complain, a little more giving to God, would solve it. Don't grumble, it creates more pain. Accept pain, it reminds you that you are living.
Selfishness. When we are sick, we tend to get selfish. How True! We want everything, especially attention. When we don't get what we want, we would resort to anger, sorrow, ignorance. When this accumulates and we refuse to change, we get depressed. We still remain selfish and we resort to self-mutilation, drinking, smoking worse of all, but very evident in our society, Suicide. That's why suicide is indeed the greatest act of selfishness.
Therefore my Brothers and Sisters, Healing comes from God with ourself to co-operate with him. Indeed healing is from the one person who created us. We must co-operate with him. He suffered more than us. Don't complain. Don't be selfish and self-centered. Pain is good to a certain extent. BE AWARE of your surrounding. Don't be ignorant.
I then end off this topic with this story.
There was a woman who had alot of problems. One day she came to church and knelt before the cross. She then started complaining to Jesus, from morning all the way till night. She just knelt there and kept complaining. It was time for the church to be locked but she was still complaining. She didn't bother about people waiting or telling her to go home. Then Jesus spoke, "You've got alot of problems, how about we switch places?"
Amen.
