Do You Want to be Healed?
“Do you want to be healed?” he asked, immediately following my run-on statement of
grievances
disappointments
sins
exterior problems (eloquently stated, of course)
worries
irritations
injustices…
all of which are contributing to my current, toxic state of mind.
I didn’t even have to wait a full second for the offer, “Do you want to be healed?”
Hmm. Such a poignant question.
He didn’t say, “Do you want me to fix all your problems?” and to be honest, I might want that more.
As if I could just… be fine.
I even created some of these problems.
Very likely, I will still have to exist with these conditions that pull at me, derail me, exhaust me, grieve me; but I could be filled with the fullness of peace… and general “all-shall-be-well”-ness.
That doesn’t sound like enough.
I might just rather complain about things.
Do I want to be healed? What a question.
I shall consider it.
