Notes from Hospital

Anther Lessons from Hospital Ministry…

Year after year…

. I saw people crying over their health

. I saw people grieving over diagnose

. I saw the hopeless in the face of cancer

I found many blessed facts

#1 Those who grieve the most after diagnosed are those who have HEALTHY lifestyle

. eating healthy

. regular exercise

. good sleeping pattern

. less stress

. etc

They thought they deserve the best health!

when cancer strike they cannot face the reality!

Doctor find no answer on it!

#2 Those who have a grateful attitude will have their peace reserved during the storm

Yes, they are crying over the facts, they are scared too

But, they don’t quickly react to the circumstances by immediately changing the eating habit or sleeping pattern in

And, they are “cool” in the face of disaster

#3 Those who care so much about what they eat and drink, those who have so many “rules” for their health are those group of people who have a high risk of getting bad disease 

*Phew

Doctor's advice: "be careful with what you put on your mind because it is far more dangerous with what you put in your tummy"

#4 NOBODY immune from every disease

. people with healthy lifestyle or doesn’t care about health at all

. people with close relationship with the Lord or distance from God

. people who take care of what they eat and drink or those who basically enjoy everything

Every kind of human being have a risk to get bad disease!

That situation speaks of my spiritual health

Praying . Reading Bible . Fasting . Serving God

Just like those people who live a healthy life doesn’t guarantee they won’t be sick

my spiritual commitment doesn’t guarantee I’m immune to all troubles!!!

In fact, God allows circumstances to come to my life for an eternity purpose

Through the storm God happing, moulding, transforming my character to be more like Jesus

#5 Healing is God’s sovereignty!

I witness 2 people having a bad disease

Giving the same effort

Putting the same level of faith

1 healed and the other one passed away

1 healed on earth and the other one enjoys the healing in heaven

Be grateful for everything: good and bad

Be thankful for everything

The “healthy” attitude that helps in every circumstance!
