Spiritual healing
Matt 9:2-8 " 2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee. 3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth. 4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? 5 For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk? 6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house. 7 And he arose, and departed to his house. 8 But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men. I feel like I've read this for the first time, although I KNOW I've heard the story before. This time I was really truck with how amazed everyone was with the physical healing, yet doubted the spiritual healing. It made me wonder if the man himself doubted the spiritual healing. How many times have I given up the chance to be spiritual clean, or to recognize a healing moment when it may not have been what I was looking for? I need to take more time to cheer and be grateful for the moments of spiritual healing. I may even need to write them down (which I am terrible at). I am so grateful for all of the ways I have become spiritually better over the years and I hope that I can still recognize those moments and use them in my life.
