God
desires our health, our wholeness of body, mind, and spirit. This bold affirmation rests on the knowledge
and experience of God in the life of Israel and the church. God was revealed to Israel as "the LORD,
who heals you" (Exodus 15:26), whose deepest and most consistent desire
was to redeem, bless, and restore God's people…
In the
here and now, we can count on this: that whenever we open ourselves to the
activity of the Holy Spirit, some kind of healing takes place. Indeed, God invites us to ask for what we
need just as a child would ask a parent.
Even when our lives are filled with suffering or wracked with agonizing
questions, we can cling to the faith that God is with us, somehow always
offering new life and healing.
