Let me hear of your steadfast love in the morning, for in you I put my trust. Teach
me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.
Love heals the body! No wonder people were healed by coming into contact with Jesus. He was
love incarnate--and that is what He calls His church to be today. Love made flesh. Love can heal
the soul.
(Psalm 143.8
NRSV)
The poet Elizabeth Barrett was an invalid for many years, unable even to lift her head from her
pillow. One day she was visited by a man named Robert Browning. In just one visit he gave her
so much joy and happiness that she lifted her head. On his second visit she sat up in bed. On
the third visit they eloped.
Dear God, your love continues to love and love, which brings hope and healing to my soul. Thank
you. Amen.
