His atoning work of death on the cross

Feeling sick isn't from the Lord. I've been struggling with this head cold and chest cold for the past week and it isn't pleasant whatsoever. Its really rare when I get sick and even if its a simple cold or runny nose. Being stuck in the house for almost a week is horrid! But all at once I'm guilty for taking pleasure in it. I'm never lazy, I never take time off to really sit back and watch 2 to 3 movies in one sitting. Thank goodness I still live at home and my mother is such a gem to take care of me. One of my favorite things she's been giving me that has really improved my health is her famous Lemon and Honey drink! But besides the house remedies.. she reads me the word every night. Hearing her read those verses every night really strengthens me in my sleep. Its a struggle to sleep at night with a fever and a headache that spikes to the roof! But I hold on to God's promise and know that this suffering is not mine but his. For he took it on the cross.

I don't know why I'm writing about feeling sick. I guess it was on my heart to write about it. That even in sickness and pain Jesus can heal. "Surely he has borne our grief’s and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted."- Isaiah 53:4
