“You’ll be healthy not by disliking sickness, but by loving health. Treat your body with respect and love. It’s the vehicle for your consciousness while you’re on earth. It’s also made to provide you with pleasure. Looking at a beautiful sun-set, tasting a delicious meal, hearing musical sounds, touching and so forth, these can be very pleasurable sensations for your body. You built it. I only designed it and provided the blueprint.”
God relaxed for a moment and took another bite of the plum.“Plums are good,” He said. “Fruits and vegetables are good. There are herbs that are beneficial for specific bodily ailments. The ancient civilizations knew a lot about these things. There’s much to be learned from what was handed down to you. But in your present century, there’s not much respect for ancient wisdom. Scientific data and analysis are fine up to a point, but they provide incomplete answers. Combining ancient wisdom and knowledge with new discoveries will always be more beneficial in the long run.
My mind was racing. This was extremely important and valuable information. It was time I thought, to ask a few questions concerning my current problems. Yet today, these problems seemed so far away and not at all important. Just being in the presence of the Almighty gave me an entirely different perspective. But nevertheless, I found myself asking, “Why is it, Lord, sometimes when we work so hard toward a goal, that it begins to seem ever further away? In fact, there are so many things that I’m working on and they all seem to be getting worse. Any light You can shed will be a tremendous help not only to me, but also to those I'm trying to help.”
“There are various reasons,” said God.“The things you are striving for so diligently may not be things you really want or need. Another reason may be that you aren’t ready yet or prepared to handle those things. Or it could be timing. You have to learn how to read the signs of the times. A good farmer knows when to sow and when to reap. He doesn’t reap when he should be sowing or sow when he should be reaping.” These reasons seemed too ordinary to be “God Answers,” so I pursued the question further. “I thought any time was a good or proper time. How do we know this timing? How can we find the right time?”
