A healing love

William E. Moody

Sometimes when a person is suffering with illness or pain, he may feel confused, afraid, uncared for, alone. This is when he especially needs to feel loved—to feel a healing love.

The Saviour, Christ Jesus, naturally understood the human need for such love. When the sick or incapacitated came to him, he unfailingly responded with the purest of love. Whether it was shown in putting his hands on the "unclean" leper and healing him, restoring sight to a man who had been born blind, or raising to life a widow's only son, each one must have felt an incomparable caring and tenderness.

The healing love Jesus expressed was so natural to him because it was, inherent in his very being. His whole life was love. And he knew the source of that love to be unfailing and permanent because the source was God. That, too, is why his love had healing power; his love expressed divine Love, God. Divine Love infinite, omnipotent, always present, and always effective in accomplishing its own holy purpose in man. Whatever would claim to harm or injure us is completely removed, rendered harmless, in the presence of pure Love. This is what Jesus proved in case after case in his healing ministry.
