GOD’S INTRUMENTS

 

In the same way, Christ did not take upon himself the honor of being a high priest. – Hebrews 5:5

 

The study of medicine entails long years of rigid academic discipline and clinical training before one becomes a full-fledged physician. The road is long and arduous. There is no shortcut to becoming a doctor. One has to spend approximately 12 years of one’s life after high school graduation to be educated in this field.

A physician is one whose mission in life is to provide the best health care service to the community. He holds much responsibility for people’s lives. He is an emissary of health, a counselor, a comforter of the afflicted and the forlorn. A physician is one who listens with sympathetic ears and treats with a heart.

It is always such an indescribably exhilarating feeling whenever patients come  to thank us for healing them. But we always tell them, “It is not us but God who healed you. We are just God’s instruments in His healing ministry. We dress the wounds; God provides the healing.” Dr. Henry Yu (henrio_md@yahoo.com)

REFLECTION:

We are all children of the same God who loves us unconditionally at all times.

 

Father, remind us always to love our neighbors as much as You love us and to stay humble at all times as You use us as Your instruments.

 

Sts. Simon and Jude, Apostles, pray for us.
