It's not me, it's Him- Sandra

Fr. Garcia told me that if I try to take care of her by myself I will wear myself out and I will get tired, exhausted and overwhelmed. However, if I ask Jesus to join me in doing this, then I’ll be able to.

This evening my mom asked me to massage her back because she was in pain.

My initial thought was, “My dad’s home, why can’t he?”

Then I remembered what Fr. Garcia said, “It’s not you, its Him who is continuing His healing ministry.”

My friend Sandra’s voice came to mind, “It’s not me, it’s Him.”

Then He said to me,

“Let me continue my healing ministry because I don’t enjoy seeing your mom like this.

Let me massage her. Not you, but me. I don’t take pleasure in her pain. I don’t want to see her in pain, but I have given away some of my power.” “Give it back to me, by letting me touch her.” “Let me touch her and heal her.” “Let me love her through you.”

“Will you let me? Will you let me love her though you?”

“Will you lay your anger, laziness, impatience and self aside, so that I can be in you and work through you? “

-Jesus, I love you.
