I position the hot water bottle against my back, and audibly
sigh. The comfort radiates through the rubber, the clothing, and into those
knotted muscles, bringing some relief. Unfortunately, I doubt that it does
anything to actually bring healing to whatever has happened in the spine. I think
the miracle of healing that will come with time and the divine design of our
self-healing bodies.
Family and friends can be the hot water bottles we need as we
navigate the troubled waters of life. Their love and attention comfort us in
loss and pain. I am so grateful for the loving family and friends God has
blessed me with. But nobody can get to the real source of our invisible pain
except our loving creator.
Others can ease the symptoms. Jesus can heal the wounds.
Thinking of all those in real trouble today, real loss and
heartbreak, fear and pain. I cry out to God to step in, to reach out, to touch
those in despair and anguish. May they sense your loving presence in the midst
of their travails.
