I did not get much, if anything, accomplished yesterday as I was sick all day. I’m doing a one week detox of eating only fruit and I must have been quite toxic! The downtime did however give me another opportunity to thank God for His sacrifice. I may cry and moan about my sickness (yup did that) but to think of what Jesus did on the cross – how can anything I go through equal that? It can’t, so I must take these times of sickness, trials, difficulties to remember how much God loves me and simply ask for His grace to be sufficient to see me through.
For me it can be so easy to take my health for granted, especially when I’m feeling pretty good, that I sometimes think I go through sickness just to be thankful for my health. The Lord has seen me through some pretty difficult health issues and each time He has allowed me to see His grace throughout.
I wasn’t going to let one day of being sick shake my faith (why is God doing this to me?) instead it’s going to drive me closer to the Comforter and Healer of both body and soul and even though I didn’t get much accomplished I was close to my Savior and that’s all the accomplishment needed.
