ASYMPTOMATIC

 For a full week now, I have not been quite myself--physically. (YES--written two weeks ago)  Achy---sore---tired- not my usual busy bee self.  I keep thinking this will pass, I will wake up tomorrow and be back to my old self.  Today is better--but still not 100%.  I was telling #1 Daughter of my malaise and she said, "You could have COVID."  I quickly told her I had not been around anyone but the family lately and no one else was puny.  She reminded me they could be asymptomatic----they have the virus, but are not exhibiting any symptoms.  Basically they are just petri dishes walking around sharing the virus with all they come into contact.  WELL now that is comforting!  I have stayed away from others, just in case maybe I do have it, but I am not rushing out to buy a test to confirm a diagnosis.  A virus is a virus---and I try to not share any kind of virus.  I spoke with a friend last night who had been helping with her grands and the same thing had occurred.  SO it certainly is possible.

How many of us claim to be Believers, but are walking around asymptomatic?  We claim we are Believers, but there is no evidence.  The question becomes are you REALLY a Believer?  This is addressed in The Book.  I invite you to read this scripture below and stop and consider---would anyone know by observing you.  There are certainly times that I am NOT displaying my faith---there have been times when others would probably question it based upon my actions.  I believe the term hypocrite comes from this lack of evidence, while at the same time looking with an accusatorial eye toward others.   We Believers are often accused of being hypocritical---you now the plank in my eye story.  SO, I am taking some time and thinking this over---Am I displaying any symptoms?

"If we say we have fellowship with Him

while we walk in darkness,

we lie 

and do not practice the truth."

I John 1:6
