A lot of people that are like me with chronic ailments, tend to put too much emphasis on them. The world calls us hypochondriacs. It's unfair in a way. If a person doesn't live in a broken body, or they have a high tolerance for pain, then they don't understand. AND YET... I do understand this issue more and more. What we focus on becomes a reality. When we are focusing on our symptoms, reading books about nutrition, running to doctors, and talking about it all the time, we are actually making things worse. I am convinced more now than ever that doctors are for sewing us up or mending our bones when we break something. But heck, I've read about people getting instantly healed of broken bones. So maybe we don't even always need them for that. It does seem that our level of faith comes into question.
Psalm 10:17 You hear, O LORD, the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry,
We can be afflicted with a lot of things...laziness, stupidity, selfishness, ... The list is endless :) I'm so Glad that Dr. Jesus knows what I need inside and out.
