“Everyone tried to touch him, because healing power went out from him, and he healed everyone.” Luke 6:19 NLT
What comfort comes from the power of touch! When illness arrives your routine and planned activities have to change. There is a slowing of pace, and time is created for the body to rest and heal. It can be peaceful, but it can also be isolating and frustrating. But even the simple act of patting a dog’s head or stroking his coat can bring soothing. I suppose this is well-known for those who use therapy pets in hospitals and nursing homes. But even the company which Famous brings is encouraging when I am under the weather.
All healing comes from God whether it is physical healing or spiritual restoration. If we recognize God as the source of this power, we can find it in the presence of his creation, and we ourselves can be used as instruments of healing.
Heal my broken spirit with Your power and enable me to touch in some way those who need Your healing.
