“Love Heals, Love Creates, Love Transforms.”
Laura Lane from ‘I Touch the Heavens’
This week I asked for a blessing to help me recover from respiratory illnesses that have plagued me for most of the summer. I know that healing can come but I always become curious as to how that works.
As I pondered that today I was reminded that Love Heals!
As I continued to ponder, this is what I have figured out so far: I believe that an important part of asking for healing is understanding how God heals us. He heals us through his perfect love. But how does that work?
For years I have wanted to better understand how miracles work. How did Jesus do what he did, and can we really do miracles like his just as he promised?
I believe that the key is understanding God’s perfect love. He can heal us through His perfect love because the elements themselves are willing to change or move and combine at His request because they feel His love and because every living matter – all that is alive, feels a great love in return for Him and are willing to do as He asks.
When we seek for healing, we have a part to play in receiving that healing. We have to be willing and allow ourselves to be loved. We have to let Him Love us.
When our cat Storm first came to us as a rescued kitten, she was hesitant to let us cuddle and hold her and she only rarely slept on our bed. Now 3 years later she sleeps with us most of the time. But she had to become accustomed to us. It required her spending time with us and getting to know us. It was only then that she allowed us to love her.
I personally have far more love to give her when she is ready to receive it.
It is the same way for us. We are the feral ones. God loves us and wants to heal our wounds, but we have to be willing to accept His love.
How can we learn to trust Him enough to heal us? By spending time learning about God, spending more time appreciating all that He is and all He does. We can learn how much He loves us, and we can open our heart to His love, allow ourselves to be enveloped in His love.
We may have emotional wounds and past trauma that make it hard to trust and let others in but if we allow Him to heal those wounds first, it can make it easier to then allow Him to love us enough to heal the physical wounds and see miracles happen in our lives.
What do you think is the key to healing? Are you able to receive God’s perfect love so that He can heal you?
“When I root myself so that I am experiencing love on all levels: feeling it in my body, in my heart, accepting love, surrounded by love, generating love, when I am giving as well as receiving at the same time, then I am connected to God, connected to all God wants to give to me.”
