My errands recently called for me to visit a medical facility to comfort a friend. I had noticed on a previous visit that there were signs, at each entrance to the building and the specific area of the facility, warning visitors to stay away if they were suffering from any kind of flu-like illness. These signs indicated that ignoring these warnings would put the patients at risk since they were already in a "weakened" condition.
After retiring in perfect health, I awoke in the middle of the night before my visit to find myself exhibiting extreme symptoms of flu-like sickness. As I reached for tissues, the thought that came to me was that now I could not visit my friend because I would be putting her health in danger. The counteracting message that came to me immediately from divine Love was, "A child of God cannot be a victim nor can you be attacked when you are acting from good motives."
I lay there and prayed to acknowledge God's law in operation - the law of Love and all good. I realized that I could not be a cause of harm to anyone because I would bring with me the view of man as God's perfect child, safe in His keeping. God has not created a man who is "weakened" - he is spiritual not material. If he could be a target, man would be a target out of range of this belief. When I awoke in the morning, I was completely free from any sense of illness or symptoms and was able to go to visit with joy.
