God's love heals our emotional wounds
God’s love naturally flows to our individual need, and there, like healing oil, supplies the exact agent required to heal the suffering. Sometimes the healing is a direct response but other times, we receive an option to see, think, and feel differently; we must choose to pursue that option to facilitate the healing. We find comfort in knowing that our finite need can never diminish this infinite supply of curative power. Our God is an artist, a lover, and an engineer—infinitely efficient and only supplying what is needed.
- When we are weak, he give us strength; when strong, he presents opportunities for compassion, tolerance and patience
- When we are overwhelmed, he offers the ability to breathe deeply and feel peace; when frustrated, a moment of clarity and reason
- When afraid, he imparts a sense of knowing that all will be well no matter how frightening the current situation appears; when confused, a direction; when lonely, a bathing of divine friendship; when angry, he sends a thought to quiet the fury and convey peace.
- When temptation lures us off course, he grants an insight to the path of truth, honesty, loyalty, integrity, honor and ethics; when suffering self-righteousness, he presents the opportunity for humility—an awareness that we might not know everything.
- In grief, he offers the certitude of love; the knowledge that his love for us is always with us and we simply have to receive its warmth and power
- When despondent with self-pity, he suggests balance, a more realistic viewpoint that acknowledges the extent of our blessings.
Prayer: Dear God, my inner spark, my kingdom of heaven within, let your healing love and restoring energy flow to my need this day. Help me to fully trust and accept your care; to open my heart, mind, soul and body to the transforming power of your loving embrace. Thank you for your divine care.
Take three relaxing breaths; ask your inner spirit to guide your meditation; reflect on the content, pausing for a few minutes in silence.
