Close Associate Quarantined - Jesus Saved Me Again

I will not shy away from Jesus' love
Once again, a church worker failed the test
Did not tell me, "I have been quarantined."
This, my prayer partner, with me day
After day, as we give hope to the aged!
This was told to "Prayer Partner" at work 
About a week ago. Friday, a call
To lend money, Thousand in my country
THE LORD usually lets me give some help
But for about a week now, I kept far
Because my partner would not remove shoes
As I do on entering my cottage
Holy Spirit hinted, "Something's amiss!"
I may have it, if my partner caught it:
I just don't know. Faith assures me I heal
Almost in a day, whatever pestilence
By design or negligence. So reader, pray
Your loving Jesus costs just obedience
To love the saved, pray for the unsaved, show
Mercy (or forgiveness) - Race toward Grace
My Jesus is the very face of Grace
Father, Son, and Spirit are HEALING me!
(c)Deo.

**T**
**T** NOTE: The PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE in Greek (manuscript in which New Testament is written) as in "Saving" or Salvation - often called SOZO - conveys Jesus has done & will continue to do "healing" in us, which is one aspect of SALVATION. Meditate on it: Salvation by Jesus means HEALING.
