Healing

Healing is found in seizing the delight generously offered by Jesus for our weary, broken, angry, empty heart.  It comes through following the wild goose into the presence of love; it quells the accusations of the evil one so we can hear the relentless invitation to lay our heart before our Beloved.  It is in reconciled rest that our deepest burdens call us to come and play for the sake of love.  Healing is never merely about our body or heart; it is always the outward movement of love to transform all ground by his holy and irresistible grace.

How have you found healing? Or how has it found you?
