healing
Added 2024-10-28 11:00:04 +0000 UTCGood morning!
Last week I wrote about learning to believe. Today I am going to talk a bit about learning to believe that God is healing…..you, your marriage, your relationships, your kids, your business, whatever it is.
God has always used unlikely people to fulfill His purposes. So none of us, through our own faults, can escape the abilities of God to work in and through us. But we have to step into His way of thinking and understand the ways He may work. Sometimes He uses doctors, situations, other people, our circumstances, to heal us in the areas that we need it. We cannot fathom what He might use or how He might do it.
But, we do need to trust that He is at work.
The reason that trust is so important is that it changes our perspective on all the things we go through. We can even see difficult circumstances, diseases, and pain as opportunities to grow in our trust.
This side of heaven will never be perfect and we won’t know things that we wish we could know. But, we can trust that God is at work and we can be filled with joy as we go through the things that don’t make sense.
I don’t know about you, but I would rather be full of joy and hope as I go through things than to be on the edge of my seat worried or trying to control all the things that I don’t have control over! And it is so interesting how science has now shown that when we worry, live in “fight or flight” mode, we are not able to heal. When we have a positive outlook and use our brains to choose faith over feelings, our bodies can actually heal. Our cortisol levels go down and the healing processes can occur. Our relationships can improve when we aren’t in the back part of the brain where our heightened emotions reside, and we can use our front brain to interact in healthy ways!
“Your faith has made you well.” Mark 5:34
