Health is Wealth;but...

Health is wealth; but do you know what is the secret of health? Health is divided by many as, physical, mental , and spiritual. Why? Man is all these. These are different realms of man. Spiritual is his inmost realm. Mental the second , and the physical the third. Health , in short, is the net result of the integration of all these .

Where does this integration originates from ? It is from his innermost realm , ie , his spirit. That is why John the disciple of Christ greets Gaius his friend thus: " Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and all may go with you,even as your soul is getting along well "[3rd letter of John].

The "soul" here , is meant spirit. This is where man meets God ,who is Spirit. God as the source of every good , He is the source of health also. When man is in communion with God he enjoys health. What blocks this communion is the block to health also. What blocks the communion with God is nothing but a life away from him. This is called sinful life.

Now if one is in such a state of soul what should he do to re-establish this communion? He should, first be aware of his sinfulness. Then he should be sorry for his miserable state. Ask God pardon for his sinful life. Decide to live a lif in communion with God.

The mission of Jesus Christ is to liberate man from his sinful state and reconcile him to God .This reconciliation through Jesus Christ is the basis of man's reconciliation with his fellow beings. This total reconciliation with God and fellow beings will bring true health to man! Wish you good health!

Dear brothers and sisters, I invite you to comment on this reflection!

With love, your brother,Silvester
