God is a Humanist

In a conversation I had recently, this one line came up and it’s light caught me off guard! The line was, “We are human for a reason!”.

It is righteous to be whole

I woke up a couple of mornings ago with the notion of how “unrighteous” it was to be sick! Now, I know the theology, but I was delighted in the realization of what the theology means! By the way, I am all for “knowing the theology”, but if knowing theology doesn’t translate into practical experience, it doesn’t mean much, it just adds noise! Anyway, it just hit me that to be sick is comparable to stealing! Now… let me finish? I’m not saying it’s a sin to be sick and that somehow we are responsible for being sick. I am saying that it is fundamentally wrong to be sick or not whole (in the Light of the work of Jesus), it’s like having something that does not belong to me! Jesus paid for it, therefore it’s not mine, so I shouldn’t have it! It belongs to Jesus and He paid that I wouldn’t have it!

I used to think that sickness had to do with a persons ability to receive healing or their faith, then I changed my mind (I repented), because faith is not effort, it is housing or hosting His effort! Then I blamed the devil, because he the one giving sickness, but now those perspectives dwindle in the Light of this one: He should get what He paid for! He paid for it, He should be able to do with it what He pleases! It righteous for me to be whole in every aspect of my life, EVERY ASPECT, it’s right! Now, I’m not implying a striving or that  I can make it happen, I’m just interested to see what’s going to happen, how this perspective is going to play out in my life and in the lives of the people around me!

Be Loved guys!
