This is the Healing of God
| The Rev. Philip DeVaulThis is the Healing of God
What we have to understand is that us being sent back into the world as lovers of this world is part of our healing. One of the great gifts this man receives is being sent back into the world in love to serve God. This is a healing act. And when he does this work he is not alone because God is with him in it. Maybe we’re scared that if we are being sent out into the world to love the way that we have been loved, that we are going to get it wrong and we are going to screw it up. […] This isn’t about being flawless. And it’s not about conjuring up love out of nowhere and just trying to be the right, kind of loving, good, perfect person in the world. Forget it! Your healing happens when you continue to remind yourself and connect yourself to the God who continues to love you and reconcile you and heal you in Jesus Christ. And in Jesus’ name to go out into the world, not making love happen but being a bringer of the love that already is within you. This is the healing of God.
