The “Cool” Towel

I have a cousin that was recently hospitalized with a severe infection…flesh eating bacteria. He was giving praise and thanks to the staff at the hospital and to Jesus for keeping him. In our conversation, he went on to tell me a story about his older sister in that when they were younger and he did not feel well, she would get a cool towel put it on his forehead and how it made him feel so much better. He thanked me for our conversation and how it had been a “cool towel”. Little did he know that he had encouraged me more than I, him. He never had any complaint about what was happening to him. He is still facing allot of treatment, and I know pain but he was so grateful. After the call, the Holy Spirit gave me a visual first, of my two cousin’s big sis, little brother. How what she had done, gave him what no medicine no doctor could. Then I thought about our big brother, my savior Jesus. How he comes in and provides for us in our time of need what no other can do. I got a visual of him and the comfort and love that he provides. My hope is that as you read this you will receive what only He can give. Love that called him to earth to die for us…salvation. Comfort in your mourning…his word tells us that blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted. To grieve, but not without hope (wow that is another good one for another day). His word tells us that he is with us always, even till the end of time. His word tells us that he is near to the broken hearted and saves the crushed in spirit. Today, despite your hurt, your pain, your anger, will you look to the hills from where your help is? Will you lie down in your mind where you are, imagine in your heart, see him, and receive the “cool towel” that only He can give?
