Vitamin C

Every morning I make sure I drink vitamin C. It's almost an instinct that when I get up-- I'd go upstairs and take it. I made sure that there will never be a day without it. Also, I am fascinated by how my body automatically reminds my brain to take my vitamins every single day.

I wonder how a forgetful person like me could not forget a single act like that. But I was able to recall a couple of years ago what was the reason behind all these. I use to suffer from carbuncle or commonly known as skin boils. The pain and agony that I suffered from left me a permanent scar. I consulted a lot of physicians and all of them pointed at the same problem-- my immune system. Mine was so weak making me prone to infection. So they advised me to take vitamin C everyday. If only I was disciplined enough to take it even before I get sick, the problem would not exist at all.

If I was disciplined enough to communicate with the Lord everyday, my body would automatically seek the Lord.

Like my experience, I suffer from spiritual sickness. I have a SIN problem. I have my own spiritual carbuncle/boil that I have to deal with. The seed that is planted in my heart will only be revealed through my actions-- and I have not been glorifying the Lord lately. I have not been taking my spiritual vitamin C. Have I planted the right seed in my heart? As God said:

8"The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature[a]will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life." Galatians 6:8

God must be automatic in me. In whatever I do, He must always be my answer. He must always be my vitamin C.
