Spiritual resource to share: our healing response
My two nieces recently posted on their facebook status, heartfelt calls for compassion to those struggling with an invisible illness and to those who have been targets of prejudice due to circumstances beyond their control. Both of my nieces know what they are talking about and can share from first hand experience how deep is the demand for compassion. I woke up this morning thinking over what Christ Jesus taught about compassion and how this compassion can lead to healing.
In the Bible's book of John, it says simply "God is Love." Jesus' own healing works demonstrated how far-reaching and life-transforming that Love is. What Jesus proved and taught his disciples to do can be done today.
The websites spirituality.com and christianscience.com are stocked with accounts of healing after healing of the power of Love. I'm listing just a few here. Compassion starts and ends with love, and I love that my nieces have put the call out there. You can go to these sites and write in the search box for any of these compassionate and healing responses:
Healing of depression
Healing of obesity
Healing of chronic pain
Erasing prejudice
Prayer for rape victims
Healing of injury
Healing of cancer
Healing of arthritis
Of course, healing compassion is always the right response in every situation, whether it is opening a door for someone, listening attentively or sending a gracious note of thanks. So I am sending a note of thanks to two very compassionate nieces. Their love is touching and uplifting others' lives, I know.
