Welcome to Closer to Christ, the General Conference,
where two friends who love Jesus share our own
approach to studying the most recent General
Conference talks. This is Abbie. And Amy. Let's
jump into it. Today, we're so excited to share
with you our thoughts on the talk, Spiritually
Whole in Him by President Kamal N. Johnson, Relief
Society General President. I'm going to start
by saying I feel like this talk resonated with
so many people on a personal level. God knew
what his children needed to hear and fill in
their hearts. And I say this because... In the
middle of conference and between sessions, you
know how people will capture a cute little quote
from the talk and they'll put it out? Hundreds
of comments went up under that. This talk was
for me. They were speaking to me. If 100, 200
comments can feel that way, that means thousands
of people are feeling that way. Not everybody's
going to see the same post, but you get the gist
of that. For sure, Abby. And I felt like it.
At times in my life, it's exactly what I needed
to hear. And it's one of those that I'll just
like keep at the back of my mind when I'm going
through something particular. And I've shared
this talk with two different people that are
going through things. And I thought of multiple
friends and family as this talk was going. So
it just resonated. So let's get right into it.
President Johnson started with a story we've
heard before. In her words, 10 lepers hollered
to the Savior, have mercy on us. And Jesus did.
He told them to show themselves to the priest.
And as they went, they were cleansed of their
disease. And one of them, when he saw that he
was healed, shouted praises to God. He returned
to the Savior, fell at his feet, and expressed
gratitude. And the Savior said to him who was
thankful, Thy faith hath made thee whole. Did
you have some thoughts from that, Amy? So many
thoughts, Abby. You know, as far as the ten lepers
story goes, I've thought of those nine lepers
many times in my life as to why they did not.
Turn around and say thanks to Jesus. Partly,
though, because he told them what to do. He told
them exactly what he wanted done. Sometimes it's
thinking outside of the box of what he asks you
to do. I know. That the greatest miracles happen.
Yeah. Anyway. And I mean, it's true. Like, over
the years, I've had so many different versions
or variations of what may have happened. And
on this pass, on this talk, I felt the Spirit
teach me something new. Just a what if. What
if in their minds. They had received all that
Jesus had. Like you said, they did exactly what
they were supposed to do, right? And to be fair,
how many times are we one of the nine? Oh, 100%.
That's kind of why I was asking. I'm like, oh,
shoot, I could see myself. Have I missed out
on opportunities? Yes. Yeah. So, yeah, in their
mind, they'd received all that Jesus had. They
were so content in this healing that they didn't
conceive of there being more. And this thought.
Totally stopped me in my tracks. I think it resonated
with me too, Abby, is because my prayer is that
I'm aware enough to know that God is indeed extending
that miracle and showing mercy. I want to be
aware not to be content only with a portion of
his healing. Yes, it would be overwhelming. Could
you even imagine having anything better than
like in your own eyes, in real time, there was
a physical healing. All the symptoms of leprosy
were gone in an instant. For now, my heart is
tuned to receiving all that the Father hath,
and I want spiritual and I want complete healing.
And so in recent years, I've prayed to keep my
heart in tune to this by having a constant prayer.
We've talked about this before, to know when,
quote, it is finished, right? I feel like it's
a gift that the Spirit can give. And in this
case, it would mean when full physical, emotional,
and spiritual healing had been given by God through
Christ's atonement. In Jesus's case, when he
used these words, it was to know how much suffering,
how much effort, how much of himself needed to
be given to fulfill his divine atonement. Jesus
taught an entire sermon with the words when he
said, it is finished. And I think each of us
as his disciples could take that into our hearts
and ask, how can I apply that principle today?
Awesome. I'm still thinking on the nine. I think
your thoughts that you shared on the nine others
are perfect. And I think we've all wondered,
you know, why didn't they thank Jesus in that
situation? What's going on for each of them?
Like I said, maybe they were like his instructions
were to head to the priest. We headed to the
priest. Look, we got the healing. We must have
done exactly what he asked us to do. Jesus Christ
had healed 10 lepers, but one coming back to
the Savior received something in addition. He
was made whole. Nine lepers were physically healed.
One was physically healed and made spiritually
whole. I think this part catches everybody's
attention. It's the distinction that she made
about the additional blessing. For sure. So,
you know, she's introducing this talk. She's
going to unlock for us a new principle or something
to think about. Additional blessings of being
made whole. Yeah. Something only the Savior can
offer. Exactly. He's the one who decides, right?
I feel like, again, it's agency. And this one
leper, he offered gratitude in addition with
his faith, right? The leprosy thing, I mean,
this is something they've been struggling with
for years. They've been ostracized. They've been
shunned from their communities. They've had no
contact except for themselves. This is a group
of, they probably become friends because they're
all each other has. That's a good point. they're
not healed as they start heading in to go talk
to the priest. So if you go in, as far as I have
heard about the lepers or whatever, they'd be
really punished or whatever. So what they did
wasn't terrible. They were proceeding on his
instructions and doing something that was probably
terrifying because they were going to be picked
on for doing what they did. That's a good point.
there can be more. Yes. What additional blessings
do you see from this? What do you think it unlocks?
Okay, yes. So for me, I feel like that gratitude,
it reminded me of some of the study I've done
in the past few months, is that giving thanks
is a step in healing. And I hadn't really thought
of it before very much. I was studying some old...
talks. And Richard G. Scott gave this in 1992.
I love this so much. He says, healing is accelerated
when gratitude is expressed to the Lord for every
degree of improvement noted. And I mean, we just
saw that acceleration with what happened with
this 10th leper, right? He added gratitude to
the equation and the Lord in his goodness was
able to bless him with an extended miracle. Do
you know what's going on in Sister Johnson's
life that this has been on her mind? I don't.
Her husband is chronically ill. Interesting.
And so I'm sure she's seen many miracles along
the way, but it's not something that she's expecting
physical healing from. And I don't know, you
could tell it came from a deep place. Oh, for
sure, right? Yeah, it resonated with her. Another
one is gratitude is our sweet acknowledgement
of the Lord's hand in our lives. It's an expression
of our faith. That's from Bonnie D. Harkin. And
then in Thessalonians 5 .18, gratitude is part
of healing. Give thanks in all circumstances
for this is God's will for you in Jesus Christ
or Christ Jesus. It's a pattern of God. When
we choose to be grateful, God is able to bless
us with more. She asks a billion -dollar question
about both wholeness and healing. She says, if
healing and wholeness are not the same, which
is so easy to picture in the form of the 10 leper
scenario, but then everybody was like, oh, this
is my thing that I'm dealing with, that I've
chronically been dealing with, or that my family
or friend has been dealing with. So anyway, if
healing and wholeness are not the same, can one
be made spiritually whole by him? but not yet
physically and emotionally healed. It's amazing.
And I feel like I haven't heard it exactly said
that way. In previous podcasts, we've really
settled. We felt comfortable saying spiritual
things are... like we would talk about it being
more fine matter. Yeah. Like all things are created
spiritually before physically. Uh -huh. So spiritual
healing. Yes. And so we've talked about some
of the things that ALU, you have your own fair
share of chronic illness things to go through
and that, yeah, you're still waiting for the
physical part of that to catch up. But in the
process of allowing him to make you whole spiritually,
you're kind of more content to wait for the body
to catch up. I agree. Because he doesn't want
to be whole. Right? But your gratitude in the
little piece in the parts, like as he sends the
right combination of doctors or therapies to
try, you know, there's a moment to reflect in
gratitude on that. Absolutely. You can just be
like, why didn't you just fix me all at once?
We've talked about this before. It's like maybe
that therapy didn't exist before. So he can't
offer that blessing in that moment, but he can
give you something to aid you in the process.
And when you look back, on sometimes decades
multiple decades of pain and suffering if you
do it with these certain eyes with these you
know different eyes to see you can see his hand
along the way you can see how you grew to trust
him more how he was walking with you it's pretty
amazing so anyway i do feel like i do feel like
we've touched on this but the way that she spoke
it Like we said, it resonated with people the
way that she said it. Had you thought before
of them really being two distinctly different
things? I had not. Just like you said, we had
talked before about there being the spiritual
healing and the physical healing. I love that
she talked about... Spiritual wholeness. Yes,
the wholeness. The master healer will heal all
our afflictions, physical and emotional, in his
time. But in the waiting to be healed, can one
behold? And then she goes on to explain, to behold,
like what does it mean to behold, right? To behold
means to be complete and full. Much like the
five wise virgins who had their lamps full with
oil when the bridegroom came, we can be whole
in Jesus Christ as we fill our lamps with the
nourishing oil of conversion to him. In that
way, we're prepared for the symbolic wedding
supper, his second coming. So if I'm taking key
words from her description, being whole would
mean complete, full of conversion to Jesus Christ
and being prepared for his coming. I love that.
So, maybe we should stop and consider some ways
to be made whole. She makes a list of a few of
them, and I'll start off with a few. We can be
made whole in Jesus Christ when we exercise our
agency to follow Him in faith. And I think you
made that point. The ten lepers went off, one
returned. Jesus Christ is always about agency,
and that's the lesson. We have to turn to him.
He can't just throw at us. And here also, let
me sprinkle this. You're also spiritually whole.
Yeah. It required using agency too. I know what
you said to do, but thank you for what you did.
Yeah. We are whole in Jesus Christ as we submit
our hearts to him so that he can change them.
And a lot of times when it's chronic illness
that we're discussing, we've allowed ourselves
to harden a piece of that heart. That's a good
point. Usually. Because it's chronic. Yeah. You've
been dealing with it for so many years. You get
a piece of anger in there. Yeah. You get burned.
You think to yourself. And you reason like, I've
been doing so many good things. Like, I deserve
this healing. But he's not punishing you with
that illness. Right. So healing you from it isn't
because you were a good girl or boy all of a
sudden. Absolutely. That's the distinguishing
feature. And it's always a process. There's never
like a one and done and it's finished, you know?
It's like you think, oh, this might be the thing.
And then you go through it and it didn't heal
you. And you're like, oh, you don't want to hold
out hope for the next time. You know, you kind
of get burned. Well, and it's an interesting
thing to think about when you submit your heart
to him. It's because you know that only He can
fix, that He can soften that heart for you. But
again, like it's the agency and it's turning
to Him to allow Him to do that. And then keeping
His commandments. That's the long and short of
it. Absolutely. And then she continues, enter
a covenant relationship with Him. So when we
make covenants with Him. And then meekly, you
kind of touched on this too, meekly. endure and
learn from mortal challenges until we return
to his presence and are healed in every way.
Somehow we have to verbalize that we're getting
the message that he's sending to us. That's a
good point. Like I'm acknowledging I'm going
through this physical ailment, but I've mentioned
before, like people that will testify like, you
know, in their ailment, you know, Jesus Christ
is their savior and he's done so many good things
for them. that speaks volumes when you get to
hear somebody testifying through their trials
and their pain. 100%. And even, you know, if
we're waiting in wholeness, we are whole in our
dedication to the Lord. Like this says, I can
be whole while I wait for healing if I am wholehearted
in my relationship with Him. So just like you're
saying, for me, it's kind of like I have an open
document with Heavenly Father and we talk about
like the... all the challenges I'm going through
right now. Like I'll get, let's say an inspiration
to do a certain thing. And I'll say, Heavenly
Father, I had a thought to do this. Was this
you? Like, so I get the confirmation and I say,
how would be the best way to proceed with this?
I'm not really sure what it looks like. So there's
always like a working dialogue. And like, then
I see like how the Savior fits in with all of
that. Yeah. That protocol you may be inspired
to do, you can't enter it thinking like, if I
don't feel perfect at the end of this, then it
was of the devil or that you deceived me. It's
ongoing. You know, there's something wrong with
me. I guess I'm just trying to make that point
that sometimes we think an answer is going to
lead to the like, boom, magical healing. But
sometimes it's just a step closer to get the
healing to kind of catch up to. Where it can
be, too. I totally think that. But what's hopeful
is that you can always assess in each of these
iterations of the things that we do that you're
like, how has my relationship with Jesus Christ
grown? How have I learned more of my Heavenly
Father? That relationship. So as you were talking
about that, it's also like, you know, since there's
this ongoing relationship and we get better iteratively,
right? And by that, I mean, grow closer to Heavenly
Father, understand what His patterns are, partner
with Him in our healing. I also love to ask for,
I like Heavenly Father to help show me what...
compensatory blessings I've been given. Because
it's not always the physical healing I'm looking
for, right? Right. And I think if you verbalize
that in your conversations with him or in this
open dialogue that we're having or like an open,
you know, your prayer drilling situation that
you're like, I'm expecting to be healed. either
in the resurrection or in this life. But, you
know, like I'm saying that I want to be healed
in the process. Help me to have eyes to see all
of the things you're doing for me. Now, being
reminded of the covenants that we make, so more
frequently we can attend the temple. And, you
know, certainly if you're not feeling good and
you're sick, it's really hard to get into the
temple. But to the best of your abilities, if
you can make it into the temple and be reminded
of those covenants you've made or partaking of
the sacrament, being reminded, you know, of your
covenants. Yeah. It's an opportunity. We oftentimes
have opportunities to reflect on the blessings
that can be ours. Agreed. We have to. seek for
them. We have to recognize them. We have to verbalize
that we've seen them in our lives. And it makes
a difference when we do that. I do like, especially
if I'm having an acute health challenge I'm working
on, I do love going to the initiatory. And I
like, after each blessing that's pronounced on
my head, I say, Heavenly Father, I claim that.
I need all of those. I claim that. I claim that.
You know what I mean? I can just hold on to that
for whenever He sees fit to pour it down on me.
And there actually is the vitality that I'm waiting
for. And a lot of those promises, I'm like, I
do recognize people will sit in there and they'll
be like, that's not a blessing that I get to
experience. That's not for me. But what's amazing
is that it's going to be. Regardless if it's
in this moment or in the eternities, which are
a lot longer cumulatively than we're experiencing
this short little blip here. It's still worth
striving to be worthy of. Absolutely. So I love
this part, Abby. Enos asked the Lord, how is
it done? So after he was blessed, and so many
times I feel like I asked the Lord that, like,
you blessed me. Like, how did this happen? It
was so wonderful. How is it done? And the Lord
responded, because of thy faith in Christ, thy
faith hath made thee whole. Isn't it cool? He
doesn't even take the acclaim for the healing.
He's like, your faith did that. It was very good.
Really, because he set that in stone for us when
he fulfilled his covenant. It's a blessing of
the covenant he did, but he's basically saying,
you know, some people take that opportunity to
pick it up. You claimed it, so you did that.
I love that. We talked about Paul before with
the thorn in his side in previous conferences.
And I love it when they bring up that story,
just because it touched me so deeply. And like
any time that it comes up subsequent to that,
I'm like, yep. It resonates. It does. I think
we can agree it's a story that's universal. We
can all relate on some level. It's that thing
that we bring to the Lord and we ask him and
we ask him and we ask him for and we don't feel
like we're getting traction on it. I really like
how President Johnson reframes his experience
with wholeness versus healing and further explains
the difference between the two. Yes. I love it.
I love the part where the Lord said to Paul,
my grace is sufficient for thee, for my strength
is made perfect in weakness. And then Paul responded
to the Lord, when I am weak, then am I strong,
meaning in the Lord. Those who rest, oh, I love
this part that you talked about. I think, again,
we can all. We can all see ourselves in this.
Those who wrestle with mortal struggles and turn
to God in faith, like Paul, can receive the blessings
of becoming acquainted with God. Paul was not
healed in his affliction, but he was spiritually
whole in Jesus Christ. And even in his adversity,
the light of his conversion to and strength from
Jesus Christ was shining and he was joyful. And
in his epistle to the Philippians, he exclaimed,
Rejoice in the Lord always. Again, I say rejoice.
I love that hymn. There's patterns being established
here. And what I'm hearing is that it's our agency
that's going to decide the outcome of the situation.
The ten lepers' faith brought healing. One leper's
additional praise, gratitude brought wholeness.
And then we talked about Enos and how his faith
brought wholeness. And when we choose to let
God prevail in our lives, we love that phrase
from our prophet, we choose him within the context
of wholeness and healing. You know, we might
ask ourselves, how does agency play a role in
this? I like the way, again, like you said, the
pattern of the Lord is made known and we choose
to be made whole. Camille Johnson says it like
this. Many are called, but few are chosen. Or
sorry, this is the way she said it. Many are
called, but few choose to be chosen. And then
she says, all will be physically and emotionally
healed in the resurrection. But will you choose
now? to be made whole in him. We can spiritually
be made whole even while we wait for physical
and emotional healing. Wholeness does not necessarily
mean physical and emotional restoration in this
life. I feel like she really, really made that
abundantly clear in this. It might not necessarily
be in this life. Wholeness is born of faith in
and conversion to Jesus Christ and letting the
light of that conversion shine. I do feel like
her asking the question, will you choose? Now
to be made whole in him. That's kind of life
changing. Like not later, right now. Do you have
a short answer on what it looks like to demonstrate
spiritual wholeness? Demonstrate? I mean, you
know, years ago, it's been five years now, but
we kind of as a group of friends started talking
about or learning more about. We learned about
meditation, but we also, as part of that, learned
about being grateful for things as if God had
already given them to us. So the short answer
is, I do. I see myself as already, in this term,
being healed or whole, and I just live as if
I already am receiving all of those blessings,
and I'm just waiting for them to be made manifest
physically. Right now, I am seeing myself in
the future with vitality, and I'm very specific
about all the things that I see, the things that
I enjoy that I haven't been able to for the past
couple months. And that's one way I do it right
now, today. That connects the thoughts that are
kind of going through my mind. I've been thinking
a lot about the parable of the ten virgins. And
I think a lot of people have referenced how many
times that they saw that theme come up. There's
a new statue that's been placed. There's multiple
statues that are going to be put around the temple
grounds. And Camille Johnson was the first one
that referenced. And there's a picture in the
online. And so, you know, last week when we were
celebrating Holy Week, Teaching Tuesday came
up. And so I pulled the picture of the ten virgins
and I posed the question to my Facebook people.
friends, acquaintances that I said, you know,
as we're looking at teaching Tuesday, we know
that the parable of the 10 virgins came up and
we know we can't share our oil, but we, but you
know, how have you or how have others shared
their light with you? So as I've been thinking
about, you're talking about spiritual wholeness.
What I'm hearing is that we demonstrate that
we're spiritually whole by sharing the light
of Jesus Christ with others. We don't let our
physical ailments, when we go through those waves
of time when we're dealing with health issues
or our loved ones are dealing with health issues,
that we just turn inside of ourselves and we
forget to keep testifying of Jesus Christ and
do the good in the world. So I thought in a Relief
Society lesson, if that part resonates to you
in this talk, if you wanted to delve a little
bit more into sharing the light, That's how I'm
making the connection. How do you demonstrate
spiritual wholeness? You do things until they're
like the normal and natural thing. And then you
can say, like, I'm spiritually whole. Now, if
your physical limitations really hold you back,
you're confined to a bed, you have to think of
ways from your bed. Maybe you're going to be
posting thoughts about, you know, love and Jesus.
ways to share your life from your bed with you
know if your fingertips are working and if your
fingertips aren't working but you can speak your
voice command is going to have to dictate you
know what you're able to do but anyway i put
that question out there and i thought in the
spirit of you know what a really society lesson
might look like and sharing these things that
i might share and i asked permission uh to to
share these thoughts so when i said how has how
has um light been shared with you or how have
you shared shared your light and emory comments
my baby was six days old and i was starting to
feel the struggle of sleep deprivation hormone
fluctuation and all of it i was up with my baby
crying as he was crying and i looked at my phone
and a former young woman's leader jen had sent
me a sweet text so she shared that on facebook
then she private messaged me just so that she
made sure that it was like applicable to all
friend groups, not just one specific denomination.
So in the private text, it said, this is the
part of the text that she'd sent me that you
can add to your podcast. It said, I just didn't
add it to my comment online. She said, in the
text, it read, when you're feeling that exhaustion,
just open your gospel app, listen to some conference
talks or music. You will find strength in the
spirit. Those things will bring. It has something
so small for her, but it meant everything to
me as a new mother, as she's trying to heal.
physically um you know the hormones raging there's
emotional problems there jen gave her a reminder
of the spiritual strength that she can get in
this time right yes in a simple way i knew heavenly
father was so aware of me in that moment she's
always been someone who i aspire to be because
of her willingness to always listening to promptings
and i don't know how many times emory's like
had to pull up a conference talk to like get
through one more long night or whatever but The
fact that it came to remembrance as she saw that
post, it means everything because it's just like
a sweet little piece of light that Jen shared
in that way. Lacey shared, I've been trying hard
to study Holy Week and really feel it in my heart
and have been praying to know how to minister
as the Savior would like me to. I was prompted
to go and visit a woman I know who lives in an
assisted living center. So I grabbed a treat
and went to see her. As I entered the facility,
smelled the smells and saw the crippled and aged,
I had the distinct impression it was exactly
a place where the Savior would have. have went.
I am very humbled by my prompting to go there
and minister to this woman. It was what I needed.
I often don't make time to do this, and my heart
needed this reminder, and I felt like I had a
small glimpse of how his last week looked in
my life, serving others, some that he chose for
me to serve. That's beautiful. And then Martha.
She said, I love this thought. People have shared
their light with me in simple ways. A call, a
text, a written note, a comment in Sunday school
or Relief Society has touched my heart. The example
of my righteous mother, the friendship of my
sisters, a priesthood blessing for my husband.
I feel like I could go on and on. I'm so grateful
for the light others have shared with me. And
so I stopped to share that just because I thought
that really helps me kind of picture this talk
in. In a way that a Relief Society or Elders
Quorum lesson might go, I think you would hear
people share. It takes small and simple actions
to make a comment, to write a note, to make a
visit. It's not a huge thing, but those small
things, they compound over time. And if we don't
use an excuse, when I feel better. I'll do these
things. If it's our mindset that we're going
to look for those opportunities just about any
time. I do want to testify that I've seen people
overcome physical challenges. I'm not saying
they're made physically whole. They've overcome
their physical challenges by demonstrating the
spiritual part of it. And so that's why those
were the thoughts that were swirling as Sister
Johnson testified of this. I thought she's...
She's just putting words to something that's
been true all the time. And so when she spoke,
everything was firing. I was like, yes, this
is exactly the truth. And so you're never going
to be able to go up and walk up to somebody and
they're not feeling good. And you're like, well,
if you would just get yourself spiritually right,
then you wouldn't be that bothered by this physical
thing. That's not what the intent of this message
was to be. It's just such sweet words, such promising
words. that we now can just easily share. We
can have for ourself. It's in the back of my
mind as I undoubtedly will experience other physical
issues or my children will come into or my spouse
will come into these hard, difficult times that
maybe my number one goal is, yeah, doing the
things that we can to physically get them back
up to snuff, but always doing my best to share
that light so that they can they can feel of
God's love for them in small and simple ways
and always encourage them. When they're filling
down, the best thing to do is to testify of the
Savior in these small and simple ways. It's a
great way to get out of that headspace that we're
already in. I don't know. It's great. That's
absolutely true, Abby. Also, like you said, if
we're waiting for a time for things for X, Y,
Z to be done, then I'll do it. That's not the
point. It's you do it now. And kind of the spoiler
is you're the same exact person you are when
you're not well as you are when you're healed,
meaning the Lord doesn't just jump over everything.
and take you to healed, it's like you said, the
small and simple things as we cultivate a relationship
with Jesus Christ, as we make covenants, as we
share our light with others, we slowly move our
way towards being healed physically. And when
you see the leaps and bound growth, when you
look back on a past situation you've endured
and you see the immense amount of growth, the
way that you've become more prepared to usher
in your Savior or be prepared for a second coming,
you're like, of course these hard things are
going to be put in my path because he sees so
much potential in each of us and those do tend
to be the best ways to grow. Absolutely. I felt
like she was pretty clear on some action items.
Do you feel like you want to cover that? Yeah,
I feel like she helped us with a mantra, like
an I am statement where she said, I can be whole
while I wait for healing as I am wholehearted
in my relationship with him. Just again, a reminder
that we're whole as we... put our lives maybe
worth typing up and putting in a place that you
see often serious if you were especially if you
were dealing with a chronic illness yeah that
has no real end in sight or just like a problem
that's not going away thorn in your side thorn
in your side yeah and then the other part is
will you choose now to be whole in him Those
are two things that we can decide every single
day if we're going to take the invitation. Maybe
not on the first passing because it was like
such a wow talk. Yeah. Maybe as people re -listen
to this talk and they hear that line, they're
like, yeah, I'm going to choose right this second
just to be made whole in him. All the problems
aren't gone, but like, why not just be? great
today. Yes, choose that. I love that. Spiritually.
So in closing, prophesying of the Savior, Isaiah
said, He will swallow up death and victory, and
the Lord God will wipe away tears from all of
the faces. His resurrection allowed Mary's tears
to be wiped away. Surely He will wipe away yours
too. And then she adds this, I humbly add my
testimony to Mary's. He is risen. Jesus Christ
lives. Ultimately, all will be healed physically
and emotionally in Him. And in the waiting for
that healing, faith in the Master Healer will
make us spiritually whole. In the name of Jesus
Christ.
