Obviously some of us are still trying to stay up to date with what happened to Mike Gug. I mean, one could say that the situation is incredulous. Almost bizarre to speak the least. And we must learn how to respond and not react.

A reaction is an almost instantaneous result of our belief system.

A response is a dedicated measure of action according to the Truth.

Question.

What is our Truth?

Even as I'm writing this, I decided to listen again to the the song written by Mike Gug, aptly entitled Healer.

For those of us a little oblivious to the song and it's lyrics... it goes like this:

I decided to take the courtesy of typing this whole thing out instead of copying and pasting it. Just to get a feel of the words, almost as if I'm trying to pen down or absord how Mike felt when he wrote it. And at the same time listening to the song itself.

You hear the man's heartcry for healing. His cry for the Truth. His cry for help. Some of us think our problems are so great that we seize to function altogether. Look at this battered man. Can you imagine the torment and the struggle he is going through? I'm losing my words here.

When I listen to this song again, it just pierces me. That in this world today, there are so many of us who are hurting to incredibly and yet all burning in the silence of our secret lives. Yes, if you missed the point, even the "clergy" are people. Lower your expectations and raise your love.

Mike Gug, I'm praying for you bro. More than I wanna pray for my life. Love covers a multitude of sins. Jesus, You ARE our Healer. You ARE Jehovah Rapha. You look down upon our broken and battered lives everyday. And You know how much we need a Savior. And that is why You came. You came because You love us.

We live broken lives. Every single day. We are not the failed creation. We are the creation seperated from the Creator. No creation can ever survive without its Creator. Just look at all the technology today for example. Will any of it be of any use without it's "creators"?

No.

This is why we need to come back to the Truth. That to be complete. We must return to our Creator. God Himself. Embodied in the "man" they call Jesus.

Heavenly Father, thank You. That it is through Jesus that I have been reconciled with You. That Jesus is the Truth, the Way, and the Life. It's obvious Mike and I need You more than ever. You ARE our Healer. And we give You thanks for that, in Jesus' name. Amen.
