A Visit to a Hospital

A cousin brother of mine who has been living with me for many years recently had a complaint about his health. He suspected it to be TB as he was once treated with TB which was already cured. But this time, he suspected based on the symptoms manifested in his body. Therefore, I took this opportunity to shepherd him in a way of taking him to the proper hospital for proper and timely medication.

The only TB center I found was in Sector 10, Civil Hospital in Gurugram. This disease has been claimed by the Government of India as being eradicated. So there is a diagnostic center for treatment. It was a wonderful time driving him to and fro to the hospital for treatment. We altogether had three trips. Firstly for a medical check-up, secondly for lab testing, and thirdly for confirmation with the TB doctor. After all these processes it was confirmed by the doctor that there was no TB in him, but then he should be on medication for five days. The matter was solved! The Lord allowed such a thing so that I could practically show him that his life matters to me and to the Lord. That he is being loved and cared for.  From my side, I got the opportunity to take care of the needy saints, starting with my family members, and then shepherd others in a very practical way.

I hardly visit a hospital as the Lord has been keeping in good health. Though I used to have a cold and slight fever now and then, I took the natural way of increasing my immune system through a healthy diet and rest and dealing with bodily weakness along with trusting in the Lord for His healing. When my children fell ill, my wife will take them to the nearby clinic. In that way, the Lord has provided all the necessary needs for my family. Therefore, we hardly need to visit any hospital. If need be, we will visit too.

The Lord used even visiting a hospital to take care of one another. I felt it was a good time arranged by the Lord that visiting a hospital is visiting one another for shepherding. There was physical healing and there was spiritual healing too. The Lord is sovereign in all things related to His children. Praise the Lord!
