SICKNESS IS SEPARATION
God designed our bodies for love.
Think of a fish. Pull it out of water and it dies. Because its body was made for water. In the same way, our bodies were made to swim in love. Pull us out of love and we die. Our bodies get sick, become weak, and perish.
Whenever we move toward separation, conflict, isolation, and loneliness, we get sick.
Stress is really separation.
Worry is separation.
Fear is separation.
Sadness is separation.
We’re afraid because we feel alone.
We’re sad because we feel no one is there for us.
Anger and unforgiveness are also separation.
Here’s my belief: Any movement toward separation makes us sick. But any movement toward connection makes you whole. When you forgive, when you love, and when you trust, you walk toward your healing.
Take a look at this small town called Roseto.
The Effect of Our Neighbor’s Love
Roseto has become very famous because Malcolm Gladwell wrote about it in his bestselling book Outliers.
For many years, this small town in Pennsylvania was a “medical anomaly.”
Doctors and researchers couldn’t understand why Roseto’s residents were incredibly healthy.
For example, virtually no one in Roseto had heart disease!
And the death rate for those aged fifty to sixty years old was half that of the entire USA. So many theories came up to explain this medical anomaly. They said perhaps it was the air they breathed. Or the water they drank. Or the food they ate.
But after much research, all these theories didn’t hold water.
Why? Because right beside it was another town named Nazareth. And the people of Roseto and Nazareth ate the same food, drank the same water, and breathed the same air.
But Nazareth, just a few miles away, had a lot of people with heart disease.
And the death rate of old people followed the national average.
What was so special about Roseto?
After many years of study, doctors finally found the answer. Many years ago, the people of a tiny village in Italy, also called Roseto,
migrated to America.
They pitched their tents in a place in Pennsylvania and called their town Roseto too. And these migrants brought with them their close-knit relationships. For years, they were insulated from the “individualist” lifestyle of America.
Let me give you a glaring fact: Unlike many Americans, in Roseto, three generations lived under one roof!
Grandpa, grandma, all the children and their spouses, and all the grandchildren still lived in one house, eating together every day.
Imagine the noise.
Imagine the fights. Imagine the chaos. But imagine, too, the love!
Here’s a second unique thing about this town. After dinner, you’d see neighbors gathering on their wooden porches and talking over a hot cup of coffee.
You’d see neighbors greeting each other on the street and chitchatting. No one is rushing. Everyone knows everybody.
And that, my friend, was the only reason for the medical anomaly in Roseto:
Something called love.
Create This Medical Anomaly in Your Family
I believe God wants you to build a Roseto in your family.
He wants you to be one hundred percent healthy.
He wants your family to be one hundred percent healthy too.
How do you receive this grace?
Increase the love in your heart.
Increase the love in your family.
Spend more time together.
Go home after work and play with your kids.
Date your spouse.
Eat together often.
Laugh with your friends.
Better yet, serve together.
You’ll bless your loved ones with spectacular health. Because only love heals.
