Be open to healing that is present.

If you pray for healing, you are healed not because you ask God to heal you but because you are open to the healing that is present. The healing can certainly be felt as a blessing, but most importantly is your acceptance of the reality of how that healing was received. It was a gift with no strings attached. It was a gift independent of who you are or what you say or what you do. It was a gift that was there, and you were open to receive it. The blessing is not that it was given from God; the blessing is that you were open to receive it and to make it your own.

When you understand that, you are beginning to understand the meaning of self-love, for it is an opening to the light which is love, and it is in acknowledging that gift of openness that you are given a vision of what God’s blessings, God’s presence, God’s healing touch truly is. You love self because you love the openness that provides for the light around you becoming the light from you. Clearly recognizing and accepting the power of an open heart to receive the light provides the context for your reflecting that light from your pathway. Any efforts to feel entitled denies the reality of a heart vision, its necessity, and its application.
