God’s Life-long “Prescriptions”
Last week in a video I discussed that sometimes when God doesn’t heal, He’s doing something greater than if He would instantly heal someone in a moment.
The truth is, God is always in the process of our sanctification. (making us more like Jesus)
Salvation is FREE and only requires our acceptance. We cannot save ourselves. Without Jesus we are as helpless as someone tied up at the bottom of the deepest, darkest pit. There is no way out without HELP.
Sanctification requires our participation. We submit our will to God and He makes us more like Jesus. We take on HIS desires for us and He transforms us.
I was thinking about how He does this in our lives every day and this is what came out of it. ♥️
The Physician
I know a skilled surgeon
Who diagnoses perfectly every ail
His targeted remedy
Always cures without fail
You need not complain to Him
To receive the healing you seek
Just sit in His presence
No matter how wounded or weak
I must warn you, my friend!
Follow all procedures to a "T"
They are different from what you have known
But will heal...you'll see
He'll look you over
Don't worry if your ills seem too bad
You've come to Him early
And for that, He is glad!!
Surgery will be long
And definitely not free of pain
But worth every moment
For the strength and health you will gain
You'll be awake for this surgery
Is that something I forgot to say?
You'll be living life by His prescriptions
Continually day after day
Transformation seems slow
But your new lease on life is secure
If you choose this Physician
And His ways to endure
Our symptoms may differ
But somehow, our formulas do not
This is my prescription
For the diseases I've caught...
The Physician said to me...
"I'm changing your diet,
You MUST feed on my Word!
This lack of worth you have
Is wrong and absurd!
Nourish your heart and soul
With how greatly you are cherished
Renew your mind with my love
Let every worthless thought perish!
I'm prescribing prayer for your pain
You have a systemic infection
It started with offense and unforgiveness
And turned into deception
Yes, it's a massive bottle!
This prescription is life long!
Be diligent every day
And soon you'll be strong
I have sad news
There is a growth and it's cancer
But stay calm and listen
Because I do have an answer
The tumor of self
I'll painstakingly cut away
For it was syphoning your strength
Slowly and surely, every day
With its deadly desires
Contrary to what's true
It's been killing you quietly
And you never knew
Remain in my care
You'll stay cancer free
Keep consistent with this therapy
Of seeing yourself through me
Your cataracts are horrendous
They completely cloud your vision!
They obscure your path
And influence your decisions
Ungratefulness makes them grow
Thankfulness makes them shrink
This cure is completely up to you
Since you choose on what you think
Oh, about exercise...
I know you don't want that!
But I am going to force some on you
So you don't get lazy and fat
I'm sending difficult people
So your muscles of patience will strengthen
The tendons of kindness and love
Will be toned, stretched and lengthened
This will limber you up
To get you ready for service
Start with the first prescription
Then you will find your purpose"
So that's what He said
Do those remedies apply to you?
They are easy to read
But hard to fill and carry through
So I asked of His fee
"I can't afford such continuous care!!!"
Tears filled His wise eyes
As I stopped and openly stared
"Your fee was paid
Before you were born
My Son bled and died
After He was beaten and scorned
He knew you'd be sick
And upon Himself took all disease!
The fee has been paid
For all who willingly believe"
I left His office that day
Not sure how to start
I wept and fell to my knees
"Oh Physician! Give me your Son's heart!"
I love you, dear friends.
Live every moment knowing you are DEEPLY loved by God and me.
He is for you.
In passionate purpose,
Dorothy
