I.M. Sick 10 Jan 2022

It is the sick who need a doctor. The doctor takes a diagnosis and may prescribe a medicine. If you can pay at least.
For various reasons many like to avoid doctors. Sometimes till it is too late for healing.

Stuck In Life

There are various options. I could feel depressed or I may lack satisfaction or direction in life. All those can be painful and frustrating. They can be sick-making. Time to call for a doctor. What would the doctor say? "It is just nothing. You are just one of the 90% others on this world. I will prescribe you my very special anti-depressant. Please pay contact-less with your phone." After some days you may or may not feel somewhat better. One thing is sure: your problems are not solved.

Failed Treatment

I will blame my doctor. He must be an idiot. I will blame myself. Life is easy. And I fail. Thus I must be a failure. The doctor may have his problems. My pain will not be relieved when I blame him. What leaves is my own label: "FAILURE."

Let us examine who is a failure. Perhaps anyone with a yearly income below 35000 "Dutch" Euro or 100,000 "Filipino" Pesos. Now in half of the years I am a failure and in the other half I pass the mark. With retiring I will be a failure forever.
But ... many people with a low income are happy. Would they be failures. What makes me a failure? For 30 years I am unsuccessful in building community? How strange. Till now I failed. And for thirty years. Does that make me a failure? I rather would label myself as "BEGINNER". And even with that ... I already make efforts for 30 years. And I learned quite a few things. And I love my desire for community.

Prayer

Jesus, fill my life with desire and trust. Perhaps that is called faith. May the desire come together with joy. And may the trust be a blessing for a few people around.
