Health and wholeness replace fever

George Barbary

During the summer of 2000, our neighbor's son, an M.D., dropped in to visit. When he looked at me, he said he felt I might be being affected by "old Guadalcanal malaria"—or, as he suspected, by pneumonia.

I had felt feverish, especially at night. But the thought that I might have one of these diseases never occurred to me. I had a general, constant confidence in the power and presence of God in my life. But I realized that this did not relieve me from the need to pray specifically about illness when the need arose.

Though I didn't say anything to this kind man, who had my welfare at heart, I silently denied the possibility that I could have any condition except the wholeness and health that God gives. I held to the fact that God is All, so evil, in reality, is nothing.
