Thank you so much for sharing these thoughts. There is so much to ponder here—makes me think of all the crowds pressing around Him for healing. And sometimes he asks them: what do you want me to do for you? And sometimes he heals them without them asking. And sometimes he addresses something else.
It's interesting to consider how the promise of healing or "feeling better" is offered, even though such healing may never come earthside. And that is a difficult thing for many communities to reckon with, esp with a weak veiw of the problem of evil and suffering.
And whew. Heartbreaking to think of IHOPKC and the exploitation of such longings in young people.
Oh wow! I hope that changes soon!
