Physically and Spiritually Sick

I’ve been sick for about 2 weeks now and I had no energy of doing anything, even sitting up or playing with my girl. I had no appetite for any food. Totally, I was so weak, tired and discouraged, spiritually and physically.

Today, I can sit up a little bit, checking e-mails and writing this short post.

I’ve been thinking since last night how I was suffering physically that really paralyzed me for the whole 2 weeks. When I laid down, in my heart I cried to God, my one and only true healer, to heal me and to strengthen me. Meditating God’s words was and is the only way to give me hope and faith in Christ Jesus, to know well in my heart that God is here with me and healing me.

I cannot imagine how suffering we are when we do not have Jesus. Our spirit is dying. Without Jesus and God’s word, we will have no hope at all. Without God’s spirit living in us and giving life to us, we actually physically and spiritually sick. We only need ONE HEALER, that is Jesus Christ and through Jesus Christ we are healed and renewed.

Do you need The Healer today?

Pulling Out The Weeds

Before and After

It was at least 85 degree F (or 29.4 degree C).

It was hot and sunny.

It was 4:30 p.m.

I was tired and sleepy, craving for nap a little bit before we got companies for dinner. But I just kept myself busy inside and outside. After watering my plants, I saw the weeds at one of our flower beds were so tall and were fighting to take over the space from my Gladiolus plants. Not good, I thought. So I sit there on the short wall and started pulling them out. One by one without gloves (I throw them away because got soak in the rain storms and gross!).

It was about in half way to go, my head was getting hot and I was about to give up and stop doing it, I suddenly heard a soft little voice but so clear in my heart and head speaking to me about one of the parable that Jesus told the people. It was in Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43.

Five Minute Friday: Wonder

Soputan Mt., North Sulawesi, Indonesia (by Dave Gullett, 06:00 AM local time, 2008/08/16)

I am thinking about this Friday topic for 2 days! The topic of this 5 Minute Friday is “W.O.N.D.E.R.” One think that I could think about this word is what God has been doing in my life since 9 years ago.

As a verb, one of the descriptions of the word wonder is desire or be curious to know something. That was what I did up till 10 years ago. I was wondering if my life would be different and changed and if I would have hope and better future. And a year later, yes, it was 10 years ago I found the answer. God found me and opened my eyes to the real God and experience his unconditional love and eternal hope that I have in Jesus Christ.

That is what I call “The Wonder”, all what God has been doing in my life since the day he found, redeemed and saved me. Up till now, He still do his wonders in my life, my families and friends. The wonders that Jesus did when he as on earth never just stop there when he went up to heaven and sit on the right hand of God, but those wonders are still happening up till now and even continue until Jesus comes back in his glory.
