Hidden Health Issues

Health Issues Happen To Good People

One time, when I went to church years ago, a woman told another woman with a serious illness that people get the kind of illness they deserve. I had to remind myself I was in church, because I wanted to tell her, in no uncertain terms, that it wasn’t so. Job suffered horrible health problems, and he was a very good man. Health issues arise in Christians and non-Christians alike. We can have smooth sailing for many years with our health, and then all of a sudden the bottom drops out, and we can get everything from A to Z. God does not cause your medical issues, as it is part of aging that illnesses will pop up. Babies die before they even get a start in life, and we all think to ourselves, why? God did not want your baby to die. People die at all ages, and we do not know the answer for sure, so we ponder it. Death is your enemy when you are young, and death can be your friend when you are old. God has a special place in heaven for all of his followers, young or old.

God Is By Your Side In All Of Your Health Issues

We pray for our loved ones or for ourselves when health issues arise. God tries to help us through all of life’s storms. Naturally, people will get sick from various illnesses and conditions. People who have lived their whole lives may go blind, and people who ran marathons may eventually be unable to walk. Sometimes we get cases of flu and plagues that have killed many people over the years. Polio took the lives of many, and COVID-19 has as well. We will never be free of diseases on earth, as it is just part of nature. When we enter heaven, we will be free of all disease, pain, and suffering, and we will all understand each other no matter what our language is.

Take Care Of Yourself

Eat the right foods, exercise, and walk every day. It is not good for anyone to be idle. Keep learning something new every day to enrich your mind. Walking is one of the best forms of exercise, along with biking, skiing, roller skating, swimming, or chair exercises when you cannot walk anymore. If you sit, you rust, and that statement is very true indeed. The moment you stop walking is the moment that years will slip off of your life. Walking a dog is good exercise unless you have a huge dog that is hard for you to control, or the sidewalks are slippery in the winter months, which could cause a fall. Have an exercise partner and compare notes on how many steps you walked; you can encourage each other to go the extra mile, so to speak. Keep a journal of what you eat every day, and you will lose weight. God is one of the health coaches who always roots for you every single day of your life.

You Look So Well And More

People Go By How Someone Looks, Which can be very Deceiving.

As the old saying goes, do not judge a book by its cover. Some health issues cannot be seen because they are hidden deeply. Never tell someone, “You look so good,” as they will take it as if you thought they had been lying about their health condition, which only someone deranged would do. No one wants to have any health issues, but people have them, and do not belittle them by saying Why can’t you do such and such. One woman was told to move quicker by a group of women, and she could not because she had Parkinson’s disease. After the meeting, she went home and cried. Women can pick each other to pieces over nothing, and because of their lack of intelligence on an issue. Make sure you have all of your facts before you act like the top hen in a hen house, ladies.

Lashing Out At Someone In Church

I noticed one woman come to church on Sunday, and an older woman met her at the door and said that people die of the kind of illness they deserve. I sure wonder what type of illness she died of. People contract various diseases, and no one can control what they get. I had to remember that I was in church because I wanted to tell that door greeter off. People are expected to be kind to one another, understand others’ health conditions, and refrain from bringing them down or making them feel worse after attending church.

People In Wheelchairs

I noticed a woman shopping in a grocery store one day, and another woman came up behind her and said, “Get that wheelchair out of my way.” One day, she may need a wheelchair, and I wonder how she will like it if someone tells her to get out of the way. Show respect and kindness to people who are trying to maneuver around with their wheelchairs and do things on their own.

People Who Have To Open Their Mouth Before Their Brain Is Engaged

No one knows what disease you will contract in life, and we are better off not knowing. Never make fun of someone who is not healthy by snickering at them. I knew someone, and they told me that the aids would snicker at them where they were living. They may end up in a care facility someday, and I wonder how they will like the Snicker experience. I am sure they will not like it whatsoever.

Disabilities That Cannot Be Seen

A person may become tired quickly or feel exhausted soon after working for a while. If you are not around this person, you would never know. People with common diseases and those with less common diseases all share health issues that are not always visible. You have no idea of the inner being of any human, so do not judge them. Show kindness and compassion to all people, and refrain from placing demands on them or making them feel bad. A woman asked another woman to return to an organization and volunteer, and she said yes. After she agreed, she told her she had to work like a mule and said she could not anymore. The other lady said you must not like older adults, and she said I did not say that, but she did indirectly, as she was too old to be of any use to the organization if she could not work like a mule anymore. Have compassion in your heart and soul for others.

Scripture :

John 5 16

Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that they may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of the righteous man availeth much.
