The How Of Healing

The How of Healing

The most fundamental how of emotional and spiritual healing is found in the act of forgiveness.

Life is relationship, and when your relationships are broken, life seems broken. Forgiveness restores or heals that which is separated. It restores how your mind, emotions, and spirit should relate to each other. It restores the way you’re meant to relate to God and others.

Only when a husband and wife practice forgiveness can their relationship be healed of its wounds. Only when an adult child learns to forgive the sins of his or her parents, can he or she truly be restored to walk as a complete man or woman. Only when you learn the art of seeking forgiveness from God and understand how much He wants to forgive you can you truly be healed—body, mind, and soul.

The how of healing is forgiveness. At times it will feel like an invasive and risky procedure, but it’s a matter of life and death.

Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. —James 5:16
