And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. — Revelation 22:2
How can leaves heal? This is my question for the Lord.
Leaves can heal because they are connected to the tree, the tree to the root, the root draws from the water of life that flows from the throne of God and of the Lamb.
What a lot of healing is needed! One of the things I do is pray with people who are living with the after effects of childhood abuse. Often the stuff that happened is so painful that we don’t even want to go there. Yet "there" is where Jesus is with leaves of healing.
Kim and I have spent many years finding God’s path to healing. We know — to some extent — how stubborn pain can be. But God is going to heal the nations. Healing is God’s great work.
Pain is overwhelming. If you aren’t overwhelmed by your own pain, look around. There is plenty to spare. But when God shows up, glory grows and pain shrinks. It shrinks so small that a little leaf will take it all away.
