Christian Living
I am a wimp. I avoid doctors and medical tests. I cancel appointments and take forever to re-schedule. I rationalize when I don’t feel well. Yes, I am a medical wimp.
Recently, while gearing up for an appointment that I didn’t cancel, I began thinking about caring for the body God gave to me. Somehow, remembering WHO my body belongs to gave me a whole new perspective. Suddenly, it wasn’t about MY fear, MY pain, and MY discomfort. It was about caring for the body God chose as my ‘house’ here on Earth. I felt like a tenant ‘renting’ a living space, and I realized that it was up to me to keep it in good condition. That means making repairs when necessary. Also, as my ‘structure’ begins to age, I try to remember that God put the ‘real’ me safely inside – so, even when my ‘house’ falls apart my soul will emerge whole and strong.
Am I still a bit wimpy? Well… yes, but I’m learning and trying to be a better tenant. How about you?
