“Your Faith has saved you – Go in Peace.” ~ Jesus (Luke 7:50)

 

So often the poor and the maimed and the ill came to Jesus to be healed, and every single time he told them that he had nothing at all to do with their subsequent wellness (see Matthew 8:5-13, Mark 5:34, Mark 10:52, Luke 7:50, Luke 17:19 et al); that it was no miracle that had been performed by him, but rather that it was their Faith-full Belief that had effectuated the same – a Belief that became so much more than mere belief; a Belief that had become a resolutely courageous action; an action that had been stripped of all pride & all fear and become soaked in humility & courage instead.

Indeed, it is no miracle that the human body heals itself.  Yes, its healings do seem to be miraculous when they take place in unusual ways &/or in unusual tempos, and yet healing is what the human body does, and it does its healing much more efficiently when its fears and its despairs and its rigidities have been removed from the mind of the one needing healing … Jesus obviously knew this, of course, and he tried desperately to communicate the same – tried desperately to share with those followers The Selfless Way that brought implicit health & flowing wholeness alongside every act of unconditional Love.

Engage in real Love and fear has no choice but to flee … Losing that fear intensifies one’s emPowerment – and allows for the greater Healing to occur in ways that often appear to be miraculous.
