> Ask God what your part is every day in order to be healed. Faith is
action on your part. The quality of life grows the more we exercise
our faith. When we read or hear the Word, it is our response to action
that makes a difference in our lives physically and spiritually. Show
your gratitude of your realization that God has everything under
control by loving Him with all of your heart, mind and strength. Your
doctors may be treating you medically to help your body but as you
wait and hope for your body to mend and heal, know that your inner
personal healing - healing the bruises of your self and soul is
primarily in your hands. Since the mind and soul influence the body,
the more you succeed in healing and cultivating your inner self, the
greater your body's ability to heal. Therefore the most important
contribution you can make to improving your physical condition is by
working to heal and develop your inner self. Life is a test and our
health depends on every thought, deed and everything that goes in and
out of our mouths. You only have today! Discover how rich life can be
right now, even amidst all your problems and difficulties. Find joy in
whatever comes to hand. Prize each new insight you gain about life,
especially those won through pain and suffering. Treasure times with
dear ones and friends. Enjoy each act of kindness and love that you or
others perform. Cherish each smile, each kind word, each good thought,
each word of prayer and outreach to God. It is by living life now that
you will heal, because this is precisely what healing is all about:
living now!
