spiritual and theological reflection on my hospital paper this week

THEOLOGICAL RELFECTON

The theology I would like to share is the presence of god and the presence of light in a parrell. I have a strong belief that as the sun rises today, I see it in all its glory. The reflection of llight everywhere, in the hospital rooms, in my open heart of the morning. Ever flowing light rays shine on from this beautiful sun and I see it, even when the clouds are thick and the rain hovers above, I see this light as it is always there. It  is always rising somewhere , it is always beyond the clouds, it is always EXISTING. Even if you don’t see the actual light. It is a sort of heaven on earth, in every moment whether you see it or not, it is there. This in a large part guides my believe and feeling of gods presence within me and the work that I am drawn gratefully towards,

The theological reflections of this specific verbatim with CR leads me to the place of connecting light and healing. The internet is resourceful  as it mixes translations:

English Standard Version
Then shall your light break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up speedily; your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard.

New American Standard Bible 

"Then your light will break out like the dawn, And your recovery will speedily spring forth; And your righteousness will go before you; The glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.

King James Bible

Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.

Holman Christian Standard Bible

Then your light will appear like the dawn, and your recovery will come quickly. Your righteousness will go before you, and the LORD's glory will be your rear guard. 

International Standard Version

"Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will spring up quickly; and your vindication will go before you, and the glory of the LORD will guard your back.

Light and healing as theme here .
SPIRITUAL REFLECTIONS
Spiritually I interpret this visit in a sort of New Age healing. While the patient is jewish and in a lot of pain, I don’t believe singing, pastoral witnessing, leaving, would have brought on the best care. She was truly in pain and I believe I needed to align with her pain in understanding and offer her what I knew how in relief, and she could have  turned it down and said come back later and that would have been ok too. This 71 year old woman was open to the spiritual New Age Sound of a guided meditation to relieve pain. After she knew we were from two different faith traditions and after she access that she wasn’t up for a talking visit.

I believe god comes through me in a sort of way as in the teaching of the bible. We are all gods,
And when you open your mouth worry not what you will say for the words will be given to you in the time that you need to say them  matthew 16-20 kj version

take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. 20For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.)
