Faith- The Absolute Healer

Ever wonder what life would be if we don’t have hope? If we never love for the reason that we may be hurt? Or never make friends for the fear of being betrayed or backstabbed? I particularly like two adages that go on as- “To love and win is the best thing, to love and lose the next best!” and “It is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all!” Okay, agreed. Easier said than done. We hope and what we get back is despair. What if we do get hurt? What if we do get betrayed? It gets stifling even to think of the wound. Our heart knots with fear, with distrust, with misgivings. We wonder whether what we got is what we deserve. We see no way out of the noose. We wait for some miracle to materialize and liberate us of the pain.
They say that time is a great healer. Yet, I beg to differ. I believe in an altogether different truism. I believe in faith in the Lord. What the Lord plans for us is what I deem a better healer than time. Time has its own means of healing; time takes time! But, as soon as faith grips us, we’re cured of the lethal hurt that eats us on the inside. We feel so light, as if our bones are going hollow. That is the power of faith. No matter what obstacle comes our way, faith is what keeps us going, every single time.
