HEALTH

Is being healthy the same as being wise? I'm not inclined to think so. Being fit is a wise choice, but if you have zero body fat and act totally stupid that is not a good thing.

Instead, one does need balance. And that is not always easy to obtain in life. We can have one type of health in our lives and totally be messed up a different way.

How said it is that one presumes one form of health means all aspects of health are present. It is a stereotype that hurts so many.

The most obvious forms of health often get our attention. It doesn't mean we necessarily deal with them, but we know about them just the same.

Oh we might ignore things like eating right or ways to avoid stress. We may even neglect dealing with certain aspects of mental health when we have some obsession.

Doing any of those naturally doesn't improve our live. We just feel it ache in different ways. Always trying to do our best to pretend we don't have a problem.

Some people spend their whole lives behaving such ways. They never one reaches a point of having to face the truth that their lies to themselves are less than helpful.

What is even sadder is when this occurs on a spiritual level. Soul sickness is as detrimental in so many ways as any other forms of health problems.

But it is so much easier to forget and ignore. That is the part that really is sad. Because it is so easy to avoid at times.

God will not force us to take any spiritual medicine. We can willingly not accept his remedy.

Oh we will suffer from that process. We will truly never find the peace inside that eludes when we don't listen to what God is telling us.

Some try the do it yourself form of spiritual medicine. They will seek out a clinic to attend. They never ask God in the process or worry about if it really helps with the healing process.

It is just a case of, good enough. So they march in on Sunday and feel totally content with the idea they have taken their medicine for another weekly dose.

Okay it didn't really taste that good. They don't feel any different, but they swallowed it. And next week they will do the same.

It will always be the routine when you depend upon a doctor without using Heaven's referral system.
