The healing power of Love

Larissa Snorek

How often I hear this: “I just want to stop feeling what I’m feeling.” Especially when the feelings and emotions are painful, difficult, or messy.

But no matter how hard the situations we have to go through, there’s another story going on—a spiritual reality underpinning the events of human life that is a reality of love and belonging, purpose and place. It lifts us above the struggle. And has the power to heal.

Of course, wanting to stop feeling pain of all kinds—emotional or otherwise—is natural. But if we want to find transformation and healing, we can’t just look to escape difficulties. Finding wholeness and healing means discovering the power of divine Love at work in our lives. It involves a complete reorientation of thought away from mortality into a spiritual reality characterized by a deep, satisfying comfort and peace.
