TGIF

Last week I had my every six month cardiac ultrasound to track the progress of the aneurysm in my heart.

I almost didn’t go,

I was, quite honestly, terrified.

I wasn’t afraid of the ultrasound or even worried about the aneurysm…but my doctor had also ordered a CT scan to follow it.

The CT scan would show everything inside me from my neck to my chest.

It would show what was inside of me….

I didn’t want to know what was inside me and my fear of knowing had me pale and shaking as I went though the procedure.

The doctor wasn’t looking to expose or embarrass me, but to facilitate my healing.

Dying of something unknown seemed preferable to me.

I got the test results back a couple of days ago…and sure enough, they found things that have to be fixed.

There is some scary stuff inside me.

There are some things that will have to be removed and some things that will have to be repaired…the doctor made the right call.

When the doctors are finished though, I’ll be much more well than I am now.

The process to health is going to be a tough, but necessary one.

Over the past week I’ve also spoken with some folks who have received the results of a spiritual CT scan from God…and they too are afraid.

The Great Physician saw through the external appearance and saw what was inside them.

They feel exposed and embarrassed.

There is some scary stuff inside them.

There are some things inside them that need to be removed…and some things that need to be repaired.

They would rather die spiritually than deal with the results.

That’s exactly what will happen…it’s happening already.

Just as the physical results I received must be confronted with truth and actions, so must the spiritual.

The Good Doctor isn’t trying to hurt you, but to heal you.

He’s not ashamed of what He saw…He already saw your sickness from the Cross He healed you from.

The process to health is going to be a tough, but necessary one.

He’s made an appointment with you.

Keep it and live.

Make your own application….
