I have been sick this week, coughing till my head felt like it was about to explode, nasal passages almost blocked, throat raw. Suffering alone, like a pagan Philistine, never once even thinking to ask my heavenly Father for healing . I am  dense.

Finally, the Spirit could not take it any more. I mean, He does have to share my body, right?

I was half awake this morning, ready to start coughing when  heat started to spread in my nasal passages and in my chest and I started smiling, for no reason. Then I heard a gentle, chiding, interior voice,

” You are not alone, you know. I am always with you. I have decided to start to heal you. Would you like to be healed? Why did you not ask? I was waiting all week. “

I felt foolish but loved and said,”Yes”.

Yes to accepting a constant companion.

Yes to needing help.

Yes to being healed and happy and not sick and miserable.

John 16:24 “Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full.

The beauty of my garden healed my spirit even more. Thank- you Lord.
