It's one thing to stay alive and it is another thing to enjoy the life you are living. Sickness and all sorts of health challenges takes away the joy of living. It makes life unpleasant and unbearable. Bad health causes you to eat but yet you do not enjoy the food. Bad health causes you to nkt enjoy your money.
When my mom was passing from one sickness to another, I learned to appreciate good health. She could not even enjoy the food she ate. Nothing interested her at all. At some point, I just wished she had died rather than having to suffer.
Being in good health is a very great miracle and we owe God our gratefulness. You do not have good health because you know how to live life carefully or because you observe your personal hygiene. Good health doesn't come because you do your regular health checks.
There are people that have plenty of money but they do not enjoy their wealth simply because they have bad health. There are some that have personal doctors but still they cannot live healthily. They jump from one sickness to another. They basically live in the hospital.
Owing to this, I have come to see that good health comes from God alone. I cannot remember the last time I went to the hospital. It is not as though I do regular health checks, it is not as though I take care of myself more than any other person but I have been enjoying good health.
So, I want to take out this time to tell God thank you for giving me good health. I am so grateful Lord. Thank you for my good health.
