Dear God,

There is no one who can heal like you!  When life seems too complicated and simple seems out of reach, you join our effort in making healing possible.

I sat quietly listening to two beloved teenagers share with one another.  Their hearts had been broken by crazy circumstances and they wondered how to step back into each other's lives.  They were nervous and anxious.  Yet, there was an air of expectancy that love would be present enabling them to speak honestly and forthrightly.

In the course of an hour, I observed grace move in our living room.  I saw how their love for each other as cousins and best friends was doing it healing work.  I watched how that love worked not only from their heads but also their hearts.  As tears spilled and forgiveness wooed, I saw the magnificence of your loving spirit pouring out the ointment of healing love.

Blessed God,
who heals better
than you?
Who desires more
to mend
broken hearts
and weary minds?
Who better can
fill souls
with courage,
mercy, and grace?

Love, Andrea
