Healing from a Place of Love
God has already provided everything we need for life and godliness. Through His grace, we’ve been given His Son, His love, acceptance, forgiveness, favor, peace, healing, and wholeness!
As the apostle Peter puts it in 2 Peter 1:2–3 (KJV):
“Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, according as His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness…”
Do you struggle to receive what God has given? It’s time to get rooted in His abundant love!
The Heart of Receiving
The act of receiving from God isn’t done through striving—but from a place of unconditional love.
That love is the environment in which faith thrives. The apostle Paul describes this beautifully in 1 Corinthians 13:13: “Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love. (NLT)”
Why is love the greatest? Because it is the foundation. When hope is gone and faith feels weak, God’s love remains. And from that place, healing flows. To receive this healing, we must learn to identify limiting beliefs.
In Mark 6, we read of a moment when Jesus, full of the Spirit and power, entered His hometown—and yet He was unable to perform many miracles.
“Now He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them. And He marveled because of their unbelief. (Mark 6:5–6) NKJV”
Why? Because they were offended, and they lacked honor for Him. Their hearts were filled with unbelief, not because they didn’t know who He was, but because they allowed limiting beliefs to blind them.
Many Christians today unknowingly hold on to beliefs that oppose the truth of God’s love:
God’s Promises Limiting Beliefs
Healing God is angry with me!
Favor God is disappointed in me!
Provision God is punishing me!
Victory God has given up on me!
These opposing beliefs frustrate the grace of God in our lives. They don’t cancel God’s love, but they stop us from receiving it fully.
In Matthew 21:21, Jesus tells us: “If you have faith and doubt not… you shall say to this mountain, ‘Be removed,’ and it will be done.”
This isn’t a call for “more faith”—it’s a call for pure faith, faith that is not mixed with doubt, fear, or condemnation.
In essence, Jesus was telling us to deal with the opposing voices inside us—voices that question God’s love or His willingness to heal and bless.
Further, Galatians 5:6 tells us that faith works through love. The word “works” is translated from the Greek energeo, meaning “to be energized.” When you’re struggling to believe, don’t try harder—go deeper into God’s love. It’s God’s love that energizes our faith and makes us receptive to His grace.
Effortless Receiving
The apostle Paul prayed that believers would be: “Rooted and grounded in love… so that you may be able to comprehend… and to know the love of Christ… that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. (Eph. 3:17-19)”
When we are rooted in His love, receiving becomes effortless. We stop striving and we start receiving.
Paul continues in Ephesians 3:20, proclaiming: “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us…”
That “power” is God’s love at work within us. And two emotions that carry this power are gratitude and joy. They create an atmosphere where healing can flow freely and abundantly.
When you’re deeply convinced of God’s love for you, and you root your heart belief in that truth, receiving becomes natural. Healing flows. Faith is energized. Grace is no longer frustrated.
You stop trying to get God to move—and you start living from what He’s already done.
If you’re struggling to receive today, stop and ask: What am I believing about God’s love for me?
When you are fully persuaded of His love, everything changes!
