Love that speaks with healing power

The pure, spiritual love we embody and express makes a difference. It heals.

Barbara B. Dunbar

Love is a language that everyone understands. It needs no translation. It speaks from the heart to the heart. It can heal the ills of the world—the conflicts, the terror, the homelessness, the moral weakness. Such love expresses the healing power of divine Love—that is, God—and is therefore spiritual and pure.

Without question, Christ Jesus was the greatest communicator of this God-derived love that the world has known or ever will know. He brought its redemptive, healing message to all who would receive it. He taught that God is a loving Father who is always merciful and just, and his healing works illustrate this truth. They bring to light the perfect spiritual reality of God and man, showing that because God is wholly good, He could not create or allow anything less than good in His offspring.

The pure, spiritual love that Jesus embodied was the power that reformed sinners and healed sickness. Clearly, this love was not simply a product of human goodness, fallible and changeable. It was a reflection of infinite, impartial, all-inclusive divine Love.
