Thank you for your thoughtful comment. I will definitely be thinking about the concept your put forward, "healing vs. cure." There are so many, many, layers of healing. We read in the Gospels of Jesus distinguishing between healing and forgiveness. Much to think about. It reminds me of a favorite professor at Seminary, Dr. Fuller. He said, "Lengthening a leg. Easy! Cure me of covetousness!"
When you say, "heal", I think I hear you saying, peace and/or acceptance with Sovereign God. Is that right? Being able to truly own and celebrate all the words of Psalm 139, "I am beautifully and wonderfully made", disabilities and all.

Dear Michele,
Thank you for your thoughtful comment. I will definitely be thinking about the concept your put forward, "healing vs. cure." There are so many, many, layers of healing. We read in the Gospels of Jesus distinguishing between healing and forgiveness. Much to think about. It reminds me of a favorite professor at Seminary, Dr. Fuller. He said, "Lengthening a leg. Easy! Cure me of covetousness!"
When you say, "heal", I think I hear you saying, peace and/or acceptance with Sovereign God. Is that right? Being able to truly own and celebrate all the words of Psalm 139, "I am beautifully and wonderfully made", disabilities and all.
Thinking,
