encounter

The doctor came in and asked me why I decided to come in today. He could tell something was wrong. I said, "You see, I've been putting off seeing you hoping that this would go away but it hasn't. I've read all the books, the self-help guides, the miracle cures and i've googled the symptoms on numerous occasions but I've come to realize that the issue has become unmanageable. And so I'm here and I need you to see it. If there isn't anything you can do then at least I've done all i can.

"Why didn't you come to me sooner," He asked, perplexed almost offended.

I guess I was ashamed. I should have taken better care of myself. And it seemed like the longer I waited the more difficult it became to make the appointment- afraid of the diagnosis i imagine. I've always prided myself in appearing healthy.

"OK. Let's take a look."

My hands trembled as I revealed the malady.

His eyes glistened as His pierced hands scanned the surface of my brokenness.

Despite our inadequacies and self-absorbedness - aren't you glad that the 'Doctor' is ALWAYS 'In!"

Just a thought ...
