A Prescription
for Healing of All Ills
Come
unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Matt. 11:28
God's healing power runs all through
nature. If a tree is cut, if a human being is wounded or breaks a bone, nature
begins at once to repair the injury. Even before the need exists, the healing
agencies are in readiness; and as soon as a part is wounded, every energy is
bent to the work of restoration. So it is in the spiritual realm. Before sin
created the need, God had provided the remedy. Every soul that yields to
temptation is wounded, bruised, by the adversary; but wherever there is sin,
there is the Saviour.
When the gospel is received in its purity
and power, it is a cure for the maladies that originated in sin. The Sun of
Righteousness arises, "with healing in His wings." . . .
The love which Christ diffuses through
the whole being is a vitalizing power. Every vital part--the brain, the heart,
the nerves-- it touches with healing. By it the highest energies of the being
are roused to activity. It frees the soul from the guilt and sorrow, the
anxiety and care, that crush the life forces. With it come serenity and
composure. It implants in the soul joy that nothing earthly can destroy--joy in
the Holy Spirit--health-giving, life-giving joy.
Our Saviour's words, "Come unto Me,
. . . and I will give you rest," are a prescription for the healing of
physical, mental, and spiritual ills. Though men have brought suffering upon
themselves by their own wrongdoing He regards them with pity. In Him they may
find help. He will do great things for those who trust in Him. . . .
If human beings would open the windows of
the soul heavenward, in appreciation of the divine gifts, a flood of healing
virtue would flow in.
