We call them “heavenly challenges… simply because we believe in God’s ultimate control of ALL His creation… with our illnesses and trials being no exception at all. Isaiah 45:7 “I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the LORD, do all these things.” – New International Version This belief of ours secures our peace within our own personal challenges… knowing God knows what He is doing and that He uses trials to make us stronger… trials that build character and endurance. Suffering is of paramount importance… as through suffering we are forced to stay in the arms of Christ. And to be in His arms makes everything bearable… only in HIM we can endure. The Bible is saturated with verses about suffering. And by the same token filled with verses reflecting the glorious outcome. Romans 5:3-4 “ 3 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope.” – New International Version 1 Corinthians 10:13 “No trial has overtaken you that is not faced by others. And God is faithful: He will not let you be tried beyond what you are able to bear, but with the trial will also provide a way out so that you may be able to endure it.“ – NET Bible When God created the botanical wonders on planet earth, He already made provision for every ailment under the sun that would afflict His begotten children. Needless to say that ALL people are His begotten children. Who else created every person on the planet? 1 John 5:4 “because every one who is begotten of God doth overcome the world, and this is the victory that did overcome the world -- our faith;” - Young’s Literal Translation GOD IS A GOD OF LOVE And BECAUSE God is a God of love, He mercifully gave us nature with locked-up little structures to heal our ailing bodies. The prime therapeutic agents within essential oils are their molecules and these chemical structures are living miracles in their gazillions all over to be found in God’s global gardens… with a staggering intelligence built within each one of them Any pathological condition is a conglomeration of malfunctions, spread over multiple physiological systems. Therefore multiple terpene- and terpenoid molecular types are needed to address the various disorders at play. Clinical studies about them are thinly scattered… but, does the Bible not say “seek and ye shall find” – Matthew 7:7 ?
