In yearning to practice healing, we may sometimes feel that our efforts aren’t enough. It can seem as though healing is not for everyone, but is reserved for those we think of as spiritually advanced. We may wonder whether we’re actually qualified to heal. This week’s featured pieces speak directly to these doubts and fears. Christ Jesus calls us to become like little children—to be receptive to Truth, God, and to God’s love. As you read the Kids piece this week, perhaps your own questions will gently shift from, “Am I good enough?” to “How can I express more childlike receptivity today?” If healing is the practice of God’s love, then it isn’t a private gift for a spiritually-minded elite. It is something anyone can begin practicing, wherever they are, right now.
