MRI

I don’t like hospitals. I associate all the bad things when I think of hospitals. Most of them have a kind of smell: not sure if it’s the medication or cleaning detergents. Either way, it gets me sick.

The sight of old men and women in pain due to old age, confusion, young babies that do not understand what’s going on in anguish saddens my heart. I just can’t stand seeing people suffer. Oh how I wish I could rid the world of all Illnesses and accidents. 

I’ve never thought I was claustrophobic  until I was put in that tube. The dings, pings, pongs and clangs kept on ringing every other minute. The paddings put around my head to reduce the noise weren’t of much help. I was scared and couldn’t wait to get out.

In my hand I grasped tightly something was to be an emergency button. In case something wasn’t right I’d squeeze and they were to pull me out. I held this with my everything; it was my lifeline. I contemplated several times whether to press it and get out but I encouraged myself every minute that I was a brave man. My palms sweaty and my mind imagining of all sorts of things, I held on.

I shut my eyes tightly. I didn’t want to see the inside. At one moment I opened my eyes and peeped slightly but this sent chills down my spine. My arms could touch the walls of the machine. My head was too close to the surface and in a fixed position. I lay there motionless waiting for the horrible ordeal to end. 

After what felt like eternity, the machine let out a sharp loud noise and I was drawn out of it. The mat I lay on had patches of sweat all over. This guy was scared out of his mind…

This is the life we live. After sin, this is the hefty price we have to pay. Sickness, pain, confusion and all sorts and manners of things. 

God in His own wisdom also gave man the brains to make hospitals and give relief to illnesses. A temporary solution as we wait for His soon return.

I want to go Home. A place where I’ll be no longer scared. No more pain and suffering. No hospitals, no MRI machines and no doctors.

I can’t wait!!

Revelation 21: 1-4

1 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 

2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 

3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 

4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
