PINOY PARKINSON'S DISEASE THRU GOD'S PEACE

Peace is the second fruit of the Holy Spirit. When Jesus died on the cross and was resurrected after 3 days, He made his appearance to the disciples.

 'On the evening of that first day of the week, when the doors were locked, where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, "Peace be with you." When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.[Jesus] said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you." And when he said this, he breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit..."'

You stepped out of the doctor's clinic after having been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. You tell yourself: "It isn't true! How can it be? I'm still young and at the peak of my career." You're angry with everyone. You quarrel with your spouse. You yell at your kids. You become a monster in the eyes of your co-workers. You're like the INCREDIBLE HULK when angry but you can't move, become stiff, easily fall when someone cuts into your path and your hand trembles when it's not busy.

You begin to alienate yourself as your sickness progressed. Your wife ignores you. Your kids put you down. Your friends avoid your company while others stab you in the back. You have no hope for cure. But you can always count on God, the One being who can help you and heal you so you are more able to cope with your illness and make each day count with peace in your heart.

 "Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your request known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Keep on doing what you have learned and received and heard  and seen in me. Then the God of peace will be with you."

     
                                                                                      Philippians 4:6-9

 'Bless those who persecute [you], bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Have the same regard for another; do not be haughty but associate with the lowly; do not be wise in your estimation. Do not repay anyone evil for evil; be concerned for what is noble in the sight of all. If possible, on your part, live at peace with all. Beloved, do not look for revenge but leave room for wrath; for it is written, "vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord." Rather, " if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing, you will heap buring coals upon his head." Do  not be conquered by evil but conquer evil with good.
