The Clinic
Submitted by a reader
As we go through our daily lives, we all see people who need
to go to the “Clinic”. We have many medical doctors who read
these letters, and this one is dedicated to them.
The Clinic
I went to the Lord’s Clinic for my routine checkup and it
was confirmed that I was ill.
When Jesus took my blood pressure, He saw I was low on
tenderness.
When He read my temperature, it read 40 degrees of anxiety!
He ran an electrocardiogram and found that I needed several
“love bypasses” since my arteries were blocked with
loneliness and could not provide for an empty heart.
I went to orthopedics because I would not walk by my
brother’s side and I could not hug my friends, since I had
fractured myself when tripping with envy.
He also found I was short sighted since I could not see
beyond the shortcomings of my brothers and sisters.
When I complained about deafness,the diagnostic was that
I had stopped listening to Jesus’ voice on a daily basis.
For all that Jesus gave me a free consultation thanks to His
mercifulness, so my pledge is to, once I leave this clinic, only
take the natural remedies that He prescribed through His
words of truth:
1. Every morning take a full glass of gratitude;
2. When getting to work, take one spoon of peace;
3. Every hour, take one pill of patience, one cup of
brotherhood and one glass of humility;
4. When getting home, take one glass of LOVE;
5. When getting ready for bed, take two caplets of clear
conscience;
Do not give into desperation or sadness for what you are
going through today…remember God knows how you feel…
He knows exactly and with perfection what is being allowed
to happen to you in your life at this precise moment.
God’s purpose for you is simply perfect!! He wants to show
you things that only you can understand by living what you
are living and being in the place you are now!
May God give you:
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear a smile.
For every care a promise,
And a blessing in each trial!!!
For every problem life sends:
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer to every prayer!!!
I’d like to leave you with this for your consideration.
The Clinic tells the story of an ordinary patient who walks into a sterile white room expecting a routine diagnosis, but instead receives something life-altering — not for the body, but for the soul. The doctor, a soft-spoken and remarkably compassionate figure, listens with deep patience, his presence radiating calm and understanding. Instead of prescribing pills or procedures, he offers words that heal from within — a diagnosis that challenges the patient to open their heart, to choose empathy over indifference, and kindness over fear.
As the conversation unfolds, the clinic transforms from a place of medical care into a sanctuary of human connection. The fluorescent lights seem to soften; the ticking clock fades. In this small, quiet room, a new form of healing takes place — one that reminds the patient that true wellness isn’t only measured by physical health, but by the capacity to care for others.
By the time the patient leaves, nothing outward has changed — yet everything feels different. The doctor’s gentle wisdom lingers like sunlight after rain: an invisible prescription for a more compassionate life.

A rain-spattered window behind them holds a pale rainbow. On a small table between them are several glowing glass bottles marked with simple symbols (heart, leaf, moon, handshake), echoing themes of love, peace, patience, and rest. An ECG screen with a heart icon and a wall clock complete the quiet, hopeful scene.
