Just one type of deformity by the disease
We cry our eyes out regularly seeing these people, they are the most honorable in our society…. They may have leprosy in their bodies, but the leprosy of the heart, the indifference, the turning of the blind eye out of slight inconvenience, is a worse form of leprosy then what these Princes and Princesses are suffering from… These may suffer only on this short time on earth, but “theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven” (Matthew 6)
Will you care for the leprosy patients around you? Oh you say, there is none here in my country…
Who am I?
Yes I can guarantee you there is, look at the old lady living next door to you dying of loneliness each night, see that old man at Wallmart, his wife died a month ago, and his heart is aching for a friend, someone to listen…
Leprosy is a horrible disease, here in Cebu City, there is a place with many lepers here, the government looks after them, they come from all over the Philippines to be treated here. They don’t need to be a number, another one saved and never seen again, people they need love…. Come to this city and show them love, God’s love… They need touch, someone sitting next to them, massaging them…
LOVE IS NOT LOVE TILL IT IS GIVEN AWAY….
You won’t need to be afraid you might get leprosy, since the bacterie is so weak, only when your body is even weaker then the bacterie will you get it. Just use good hygiene, and eat, sleep well.
Hereby again my urge to reach out and encourage people who are alone around you… The heart of Christ is a broken heart… yes there is suffering, brought on by satan, but time on earth is but a second compared to eternity, and you who weep now- You will be comforted (for an eternity)… Perspective
James 2:5 ”Hasn’t God chosen the poor in this world to be rich in faith? Aren’t they the ones who will inherit the Kingdom He promised to those who love Him?”
Their hands become deformed by the disease and the loss of sensitivity causes wounds. Many times their fingers fall off or rats come at night and eat at their toes…
