You deserve to be healed

Eric Nelson

Everyone deserves to be healed, because everyone is loved by God.

That may seem to be a bold statement, especially if you’re wondering if healing is even possible for some challenge you’re facing. But if there’s one thing we can learn from reading the Bible—in particular the teachings and healings of Christ Jesus—it’s that God loves each and every one of us, and that our complete and unconditional acceptance of this love inevitably leads to healing.

Granted, much of what we achieve in life appears to be the result of a lot of hard work. However, in Christian Science we learn that whatever we are required to do in order for healing to take place—whatever misconceptions of God, or of ourselves as His beloved creation, may need to be prayerfully dispensed with—becomes a lot easier through a deeper appreciation of what God is already doing. And if there’s one thing we can count on God to do, it’s to love.
