Where All Healing Comes From

From the beginning of time, the Prophets of God have invited all mankind to Come unto Christ. Jesus Christ, Himself, gives that same invitation, Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest [peace, comfort, quietness and renewal].

As I live life, I have come to recognize that all people and/or families everywhere find themselves, at times, laboring and heavy laden with difficult circumstances. Such as, strained relationships within the family, a wayward child, physical ailments, mental depression, emotional distress, spiritual darkness, varieties of addiction, and the list goes on. Matter-a-fact, the list of difficult circumstances is as endless and as different as the human race. Many of our difficult circumstances last for short periods of time, but there are those that can last for many months, years or even a lifetime. We also find that our difficult circumstances can cause us to become embarrassed, grieved and filled with fear.

In my search for answers and truth, I have come to conclude that the Lord Jesus Christ is the ultimate source where all healing comes from. It is by Coming unto Christ we are healed and given the gifts of rest, comfort, quietness and renewal. We find that our feelings of embarrassment, grief and fear are replaced with a bright hope for our deliverance, greater faith, and peace to our soul. We take courage and become fixed with a determination to conquer to the end. Whatever and whenever the end may be.

There is a Prophet of Old who found himself heavy laden and in the midst of life’s difficult circumstances. He poured out his heart to Heavenly Father in prayer, pleading: Do not slacken my strength because of my afflictions. It is during our most difficult times we too should remember to not slacken our quest to Come unto Christ. For as the apostle Paul teaches, I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.

The power and strength is within our reach to become healed and receive rest, peace, comfort, quietness and renewal. That power and strength come through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I too would commend all people everywhere to seek this Jesus of whom the prophets and apostles have written and to Come unto Him.

Health Tip: MOVE YOUR BODY DAILY
Find creative ways to “move your body” daily. You don’t need to spend a lot of money joininga health club...you just need to find fun (and sometimes hidden) ways to move and get some exercise on a daily basis!!

Climb stairs instead of taking the elevator, take the dog (and the kids) for a walk in the park and build a snowman, park on the far side of the parking lot at the mall. Moving your body will not only help you become more physically fit and burn a few extra calories, it will also help you reduce stress. Exercise has been shown to increase happiness as well as improve our overall outlook on life. And being outside will help you with your Vitamin D quotas.
(See Butterfly Expressions January 2009 newsletter)

Good health habits can come in small baby steps forward. Current research is showing that making small changes can add up to a big difference.

Yarrow - Usnea

Yarrow contains all the usual vitamins and minerals found in plants used medicinally, but it also contains the less commonly found Vitamin F. Vitamin F is an essential fatty acid that is necessary for the good health of body membranes, including those surrounding the brain and for the health of the brain itself. The vitamin F content puts yarrow in a class of herbs called astringents. This means yarrow causes a tightening of the membranes and tissues. The list of conditions this affects is long. One example would be the expelling of mucous from the lungs and bronchials and from the intestinal tract - really, anywhere in the body where the over-production of mucous is a problem. This tightening of tissues also makes the retention of gallstones or kidney stones, etc. impossible. Vitamin F is also the basis for the production of the hormone-like prostaglandins produced in healthy cells and is partially responsible for yarrow’s ability to heal wounds.
Yarrow
