While listening to a couple of McKinley colleagues tell medical financial horror stories - you know, ripped-off deceitful hidden costs - I found myself becoming frightened. It's always good to heed one's thoughts and body. "Whew, what if that happens to me. I better remember to ask the doctor if he answers a question, will that be an extra charge?" I found my shoulders tightening while thoughts swirled.
Then the sweet Lord Jesus, as close as my breath, said, "Do not fear another's story."
It reminded me of Aslan's comment to Lucy when she asked a question about her brother in Narnia's Chronicles: "I tell no one any story but his own."
It is a waste of emotional energy to stew over "What if that happens to me." If it does, the Lord will be near to teach and to rescue. I have my own part to play in God's Kingdom drama. Do not worry about anyone else's part. God will be in the middle of mine. To have and to hold. God in the midst. Peace
