AGE CONCERN: Serving the needs of older people.

“‘…, for I am the LORD, who heals you,'” it says in Exodus 15:26 (NIV).

And this is the translation of D. Martin Luther of Exodus 15:26 in the German Bible on my book shelf. “…; denn ICH BIN DER HERR DEIN ARZT.”

The word I am looking for is the word General Practitioner, GP. And the German word “Arzt” is the English word for GP.

Not long ago I attended a free presentation by a General Practitioner here in Kaitaia at the Age Concern Offices with the title:

“BE PROACTIVE!

A POSITIVE APPROACH TO HEALTH AND AGEING.”

So far as I know, notes were taken by somebody, but I remember that a lifelong doctor patient relationship was recommended, if at all possible. However, it was also said that that was very difficult to achieve in rural areas, like Kaitaia.

Thinking about relationships, I am thinking there about my relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ from the age of 18, and that it says in the Bible: “…; denn ICH BIN DER HERR, DEIN ARZT,” and that the Lord Jesus Christ says, “‘And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Please read THE GREAT COMMISSION in Matthew 28:16-20!
