Our Healing Journey
The lepers’ cure came as they travelled.
Perhaps we too realize that the healings we need,
the physical ones, emotional and spiritual ones,
don’t happen all at once,
but occur as we travel, step by step, through life.
Isn’t that the way most of us come to wholeness –
step by step – with the help of trusted family,
friends, counsellors, teachers, etc. who
help us experience cleansing and renewal?
Do we “realize,” as the cured leper did, that
it is Jesus who is the source of our healing.
