Tough love can hurt!
Lisa, my physical therapist, is a prime example of the Scripture's challange to inflict ppain for ultimate good - be it the parent disciplining the child or God engineering some painful situation to expedite our growth. Whom the Lord loves, He chastens, says The Good Book.
LISA, IN HER LOVE FOR HER CLIENTS, TAKES AN APPENDAGE AND MAKES IT DO WHAT IT DOESN'T WANT TO DO. FOR ME, IT'S TAKING THAT SEEMINGLY LIFELESS LEFT FOOT AND STRETCHING IT OUT OF ITS LETHARGY. THE PAIN CAN BE RATHER SEVERE DURING THERAPY, BUT IT SEEMS THE NERVE PAIN LATER NEEDS A PAIN KILLER TO SUBDUE ITS INENSITY. THANKS FOR THE TOUGH LOVE, LISA. I FELT SOME LIFE IN TWO OF MY TOES YESTERDAY FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A MONTH. I WEPT OUT OF GRATITUDE.
I'M TRUSTING THAT THROUGH LISA'S TOUGH LOVE AND THE PRAYERS OF MY WIFE AND SCORES OF OTHERS AND THROUGH THE BODY'S NATURAL HEALING PROCESS, THOSE NERVES WILL REJUVINATE. I'M TRUSTING THAT THE TIBIA WILL ACCEPT THE METAL PLATE SO THAT I CAN PUT FULL WEIGHT ON MY LEFT LEG.
AND IF NOT, AS WITH JOB,I SAY, "THOUGH HE SLAY ME, YET WILL I TRUST HIM.
