God is GOOD!

Life is not only composed of good times, God is quick to remind me, as always. Yet in the midst of my new challenge, there is that nagging whisper that tells me, no matter how bad things get, God will look after me. I have seen that too many times to doubt.

I do not have a monopoly of sufferings. In fact, I don’t even think my personal sufferings could pay off my soul’s debt. That is why, I am happy with God’s generosity. He knows what my heart desires…salvation. And he provides me with ways to take part in HIS salvation.

For every lesion, for every torn skin, for every scale that I force off my body either because of humiliation or simply irritation, I fight to deny myself a reason to complain. Me? Why? For what? It lessens the value of the gold mine that I am given the opportunity to explore.

Why suffer? I say, why not? If the Son of God was not spared of this gift, who am I to think that I should not participate? Anyway, this makes me in sync with the church. It makes me a worthy participant.

Today at 3:30p.m. I was diagnosed with yet another psoriasis, Postular Psoriasis. My most dreaded kind. I cried. I cried yet again. Now, I sit quietly reflecting and am consoled by the foregoing thoughts. GOD IS GOOD!
