Healing
"Alas for those who never sing, but die with all their music still in them."
(Oliver Wendell Holmes)
Every person you meet has a song within them, one they were meant by their Creator to sing!
When you look at that wounded, hurting person sitting across from you, what do you see?
What do you believe God for - concerning them?
Even before we step into the helper's role we need to know the answer to this question.
How? By seeing every person we come into contact with through the eyes of Christ, aware that they were created in the image of God Himself and that their lives were ordained by Him.
Sometimes, we humans miss it. We forget or are ignorant of our true heritage. We forget our true identity.
If we would aspire to the wonderful privilege of being people helpers we must remember some important things:
1. The servant can only give to others what he has himself received and taken hold of (about Who Christ is and what that means to him or her and to others) experientially (Acts 3:6).
2. We do not have the talents, the resources, nor do we have the ability in ourselves to make any body spiritually or even physically whole. We aren't that powerful, we aren't that holy! (Acts 3:1)
But God is.
Just as the Apostles did in Acts 3, we can share with others what God has given to us, we can reach out our hands and offer to support and help lift them up, but only God can do the healing. It is not about you and me, it is all about Who He is to you and me - because of Who He is Himself!
3. The Name of Jesus Christ, of Jehovah Nissi, God my Healer, and faith in all that His Name is - this is what truly brings about wholeness and healing. Ps. 103:1-6
When you and I get this issue really settled within our deepest, innermost selves, we can point others to Him in the confidence that comes with knowing that we know Who God really is, and what He's about.
It is a great privilege to be a part of the Great Physician's business of restoring and making whole hurting hearts, but we must never forget that it is HE Who does just that.
