The Lord's Clinic

usually, i'm not a big fan of email chains, but this one blew me away. it was a series of slides, but i'll put it in words here:

I went to the Lord’s Clinic to have my routine check-up and it confirmed I was ill:
When Jesus took my blood pressure, He saw I was low in tenderness.
When he read my temperature, the thermometer registered 40ยบ of anxiety
He ran an electrocardiogram and found that I needed several “love bypasses” since my
arteries were blocked with loneliness and could not provide for an empty heart.
I went to orthopedics, because I could not walk by my brother’s side and I could not
hug my friends, since I had fractured myself when tripping with envy.
He also found I was shortsighted, since I could not see beyond the shortcomings
of my brothers and sisters.
When I complained about deafness, the diagnosis was that I had stopped listening to
Jesus’ voice talking to me on a daily basis.
For all of that, Jesus gave me a free consultation thanks to his mercifulness,
so my pledge is to, once I leave this clinic, only take the natural remedies he
prescribed through his words of truth:
Every morning, take a full glass of gratitude
When getting to work, take one spoon of peace
Every hour, take one pill of patience, one cup of
brotherhood and one glass of humility
When getting home, take one dose of love
When getting to bed, Take two caplets of clear conscience

Do not give in into sadness or desperation for
what you are going through today.
God knows how you feel......
God knows exactly and with perfection what is
being allowed to happen to you in your life at this
precise moment.
God’s purpose for you is simply perfect.
He wants to show you things that only you can understand
by living what you are living, and by being in the place you
are now.

Amen. :)
