Healed Before You Are Healed

Matthew 8:1-3

When he came down from the mountainside, large crowds followed him. A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean”

Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately he was cured of his leprosy

Lord, if you are willing.

I know you CAN, but WILL you?

Faith heals the spirit. Faith heals the soul. When we say, “if you are willing,” we are already healed. When we accept the Lord’s will, we are saying, “I accept whatever outcome you have for me, because I trust you will be with me either way.”

And he will.

Would there be disappointment if it wasn’t the Lord’s will? Certainly. BUT, would there be bitterness? No.  When we accept the Lord’s will we banish bitterness.

In the hard places, can we say, “Lord, if you are willing.”

Can we accept either outcome and can we abide and find Him in either outcome? When we say yes, we usher in healing for our soul.

Challenge: Make time for a three-minute breath meditation. Bring your focus to something you have been wrestling with and focus on asking the Lord if He is willing. Then simply inhale acceptance and exhale attachment.
