JUST FOR TODAY! -- Belief

From "Promoted to Chronic:"

"I feel that I have been restored to health and sanity these past years not through my own efforts nor as a result of anything I may have done, but because I've come to believe -- to really believe -- that alone I can do nothing ... I have come to believe that my illness is spiritual as well as physical and mental, and I know that for help in the spiritual sphere I have to turn to a Higher Power."

Just for Today -- A Daily Devotional

**********************************

Spiritual illness – that is exactly where we are – we are chronic – if don’t find healing – we will be dead.  Once we find the truth – that we can’t do this without Help – then we call on God and begin the process to spiritual  wellness.  In the Hebrew language, people use the word “Shalom” to greet one another – it means “Peace” to western thinking.  But to say Shalom implies that we are wishing that your being is one with yourself, with the world and most of all with God.  It is a completeness that only happens when we turn to God and proclaim Him as Lord in our lives – turning from our old ways and living in His light.

“Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.  Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.” -- II Peter 1: 2-4
