I am healed by His wounds

This morning, I had received a news that makes me cry. I haven't been very open to everyone about my health but I'm not 100% physically healthy for a year already.

I'm trying to live a healthier lifestyle but sometimes, laziness and stubborness affects me to make right decisions.

Today, I had received a news that will definitely will change my lifestyle and everything.

I cried when I received that news. I was emotionally down. But, I still opened my Bible and read my daily advent reading. Today, we read in Isaiah 53 then Luke 5:17-25.
What a timely reminder.

With all the health struggles I had for months and years, I know that only God can heal me. I have this hope in healing because Jesus,  God in the flesh, allowed Himself to be wounded and be crushed because of my iniquities.

And lastly, I know that one day, my body will be healed forever. No more sickness, no more pain (Rev. 21:4).

Right now, I can find comfort in His word. I know that He is in control of my life. (Psalm 115:3). He is my good Father. He loves me and not sickness nor pain can separate me from His love(Romans 8:35-39). And whatever circumstances I am right now, I know His plans for me will still prevail. 

I can also change my lifestyle, eat healthier food, do exercise, sleep early, drink more water. But only God can heal me here on earth, if He wills. If not, then I'll just be waiting for my glorified body in heaven.
