He restores sick bodies and broken hearts

He restores our sick bodies and broken hearts

I recently started a new job. You might be thinking, “I thought you just did that 5 months ago?” and I will say, “Yes, you are right.” But I couldn’t pass this opportunity up. As I was looking for a 2nd part-time job I was presented with the offer to work for a good friend of ours; Dr. Keatley Waldron. Obviously, I chose to accept the offer, and here I am.

The past two weeks have been spent learning office procedures such as: how to take care of patients, what we do, and what we stand for. My next step is to proceed in the marketing division. Being a marketer at heart with previous experience in Mary Kay, Real Estate and owning a retail store, I am more than excited about my new adventure. So off I went this week to the wilds of Highlands County. Most of my time was spent learning where the different opportunities exist; and believe me my list is large and growing.

In the world of Chiropractic, at least as far as Waldron Chiropractic is concerned, the rule of thumb is:
“Love” as you would like to be loved,
“Give” as you would like to be given to,
“Serve” as you would like to be served, and
“Do,” as you would like done unto you.
Sort of like the “Golden Rule,” huh? That is what I love; it’s what I stand for, what I believe.

I’ve had the opportunity to meet quite a few people this week; all with similar, but different needs. The best part was getting to share a kind word, a smile and hope with them, something that we at Waldron Chiropractic strives to accomplish.

As Believers in Christ, we are to follow His example, do as He did, and obey His commands. Let’s look at these four acts as they are given in the Bible:

· LOVE – “A new commandment I give you: Love one another as I have loved you, so you must love one another.” John 13:34

Love is: brotherly concern for others; unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another.
Jesus loved everyone, even those who despised and hated Him. He never paid a hurt for a hurt. He always turned the other cheek. Every act was embraced in love.

· GIVE - “Give and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use it, it will be measured to you.”
Luke 6:38
Give according to Webster means: to suffer the loss of; to sacrifice.
Jesus didn’t have to give in order to receive; He had everything in the palm of His hand. He gave all He had even His life for you and for me so we could be free from the chains of sin. He gave freely.

· SERVE - “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.” Luke 10:45
Serve means: to answer the needs of someone else.
Jesus served over and over while He walked this earth. And before His death He even washed His disciples’ dirty feet. Now that is service.

· DO - “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this, sums up the law of the prophets.” Matthew 7:12
Do is translated: to give freely.
Jesus treated everyone in the manner that He would have liked to have been treated, but instead He was mocked, beaten, and hung to die. He bore on Himself every iniquity, every pain and every disease, all so that we might live happily ever after with Him in Eternity.

Jesus was a prime example of all of these acts. No bad thing comes from Him and that He is incapable of inflicting pain on anyone, rather He restores to health our sick bodies and broken hearts.
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” Psalm 147:3

In our present state, we are susceptible to sickness and defeat, heartaches and pain, pressures and defeat but Praise God He made a way of escape for us. But these too shall pass. Praise God, Jesus paid the ultimate price for our space in Gloryland.
