The shore that met me when I sailed away

         and the sun rays that jumped into the sea

         to draw a shadow of a castle opening its door

         and the hands of the waves that pedalled me back home

The rock that held me on a cliff

         its edges that cut and slowed me down

         its strength that built a fortress

         to where I hid and lived

The unseen that carried the scent of grace

         to every parched road I stepped into

         to every pale side I asked to quench

         to the losing breath that needed rescue

The fire that fuels and embraces me

        it burns

        it glows

        it satisfies

The shore, the sun rays, the waves

        the rock, the unseen, and the fire

        they are one and the same

        they are Love

Jesus, M.D.

It's been a while since I wrote here. Hehe. I've got lots of unpublished and unfinished works which, for now, exist only in scratch papers and my scattered brain. Despite that I wanna share something about one of my favorite books before I read it the second time. This book isn't just for aspiring doctors like me. THIS IS ABOUT JESUS. Knowing Jesus as the Great Physician leads us to knowing His other attributes as well, which you will find out if you read the book. :) This has spoken to my life in a very wonderful way. Being a doctor is not just a science or an art. It's about relationship. In this book, you will learn more about the personal and relational God that we have. :)

So, here is what I wrote at the backpage after my first reading:

Yey! I'm done with this book!

Jesus has taught me a lot of His ways. His message of love pierced through my soul that I can't help but just fan the flame He placed in my heart. I want to be part of what God is doing. I want to join Him in reaching out and healing a hurt and dying world.

The character of the Great Physician that really made an impact to me is His AVAILABILITY. This requires dropping everything and it's difficult. There's no way to meet this calling other than being consumed by the love of God.

Looking at the cross, you just can't help but be selfless -- abandoning and denying oneself -- for God to work through you. 

But for God to use us in healing this hurt and dying world, He must free us first from all hurts and give us a life eternal.

I was healed. Now I'm ready and committed to bring healing.


No matter what you're doing it does not change the truth that God has called us to join Him in healing this hurt and dying world. :)

Happy reading! ^__^
