Is Healing Possible, Even After a Long Illness?

by Rev. Peggy Rivera, O.M.C.

Whenever someone is sick for a very long time it can feel almost hopeless that healing can ever occur. We ask ourselves how can we possibly heal? I think sometimes we think healing is always automatic, like suddenly our illness is gone by the Grace of God. Don’t get me wrong, I do believe that kind of healing can occur, but it doesn’t always happen that way.

We often forget Who we are. We are the Son of God, and He created us perfect. It doesn’t matter how long we have perceived ourselves as ill because there is no order of miracles. What it does take is remembering that we are Love, as it says in Lesson 67 of the Workbook. The title, “Love created me like itself” and in paragraph 6, “Perfection created me perfect.”

As we remember we are only Love, we are able to heal the Sonship. Too often when we come into this worldly existence, as we grow up, we begin to develop thoughts about ourselves through our environment. If we grow up being told we are not perfect, we develop behaviors that support that idea. We begin to forget our true nature and slowly we lose who we came into this life to be. This is the ideal dream for the ego.

The ego uses time to convince you that the goal is death, but Holy Spirit uses time to teach truth, to heal the Sonship. There are many uses for time to help heal the body, but first of all we learn that the true healing is mind healing. It is our thoughts that make us feel separate from God. We must pay attention to our thoughts and Love God and ourselves and our brothers. In reality we know that God never changes and His Love for us is constant.

When someone is sick we can help them change their thoughts with the help of the Holy Spirit. We can offer kindness and Love and see them as God sees them, Perfect.
There are also things we can do with our bodies in time to help ourselves and each other such as getting a massage to help relax, we can talk and offer thoughts of forgiveness whenever appropriate and the use of medication is also alright.

We should pray for guidance from Holy Spirit because our bodies may need different things, such as some people believe in vegetarianism while others believe in eating Paleo or Keto. Some people like holistic medicine while others prefer allopathic treatments. There are herbal treatments and Bach flower remedies. All of these ideas come from a place of caring for each other. So no matter how long we are sick there are always miracles.

I have felt the Love of God whenever I felt ill. I felt embraced by Spirit, and at times I have felt a sudden peace flow over me and I knew right away that I was being caressed by the Spirit of our Father. I am so thankful for that Love and the knowledge that no matter how many times I forget, I can always come back to Love and for this I am forever grateful.
