Substantial Healing.... Bring it Lord!

When there is a growing reality of offering ourselves to God (in the Romans 12 way), then... there will be substantial healing in our lives now. ... There will be genuine changes in our lives because God will be at work in us when we live by faith in the completed work that Christ has done for us. There will be substantial healing because there is more than just our longing to change and our efforts to change. God himself is changing us. He will begin to bring healing to our psychological problems. He will begin to wipe away our tears. He will begin to heal our relationships with others and within the church. He will begin to make us a blessing, a "song of life", to the society around us.
-- Jerram Barrs in the introduction to Fran Schaeffer's True Spirituality
