I believe You are all I need
I believe You're my Portion
I believe You're more than enough for me
Jesus You're all I need."
- Healer, Hillsong
These are the words I first thought of when thinking of God as Healer. One thing that God has been teaching me over the past couple years is that He doesn't always heal the way we expect, but the way He knows is best. Recently a co-worker shared a story about her sister-in-law who was diagnosed with cancer as a teenager. This young girl went through treatment after treatment until the doctors didn't know what else to do. Being a somewhat spiritual family they decided to go to a healing service lead by an evangelist. After the service she told her family that she believed that she was healed, thinking that she meant physically her family was ecstatic, so when her health continued to decline they were confused. It was then she explained that she was still going to die, but God had healed her spiritually, she then had a relationship with Him an was no longer afraid of death.
This young woman was not healed in the way that her or her family had imagined, but clearly God knew what He was doing and the faith of so many was affected by that. He knew what she needed and He knew what was best. He promises to heal us, in one way or another, this side of heaven or the other He will heal us, just remember that He knows what He's doing.
"He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds." - Psalm 147:3
"Bless the Lord , O my soul, And forget none of His benefits; Who pardons all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases;" - Psalm 103:2, 3
"But the crowds were aware of this and followed Him; and welcoming them, He began speaking to them about the kingdom of God and curing those who had need of healing." - Luke 9:11
Dear Jesus,
You are our Healer. I'm thankful that you don't always heal the way we expect, but rather the way that is best. Thank You that You are still a God of miracles and of healing. You are truly all we need. Amen.
