All humans are imperfect, all of us have something wrong with our decaying bodies. As opposed to an unknown lurking disaster, blessed are those who know of, admit these weaknesses, and try to avoid more serious degradation. Poor choices and mistakes may cause injuries that last for as long as we live There may be scars inside as well as outside our bodies and sometimes there may be some degree of pain associated with this condition. Our bodies are fearfully and wonderfully made, which allows some level of physical healing. Besides this, and more serious for our future life, there are the spiritual defects in our existence. How can those spiritual injuries be healed? Jesus is the only pathway to spiritual healing, and He covers our sins completely. St. Augustine of Hippo is quoted as saying "It is easy to want things from the Lord and yet not want the Lord Himself, as though the gift could ever be preferable to the Giver." Is this true for us, today; do want to be spiritually and perhaps physically healed? If so, actively seek Jesus and be ready for the Holy Spirit to begin changing you and making you whole again! Consider this, "One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well?” “Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me,” Jn 5:5-7 (NIV). All people need help as we move along our unique independent spiritual journey. The Holy Spirit will provide all we need when we ask Him to do so.
