A Prescription for Healing of All Ills

[Thompson, Darryl]

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.
