Every day I am allowing Christ to overcome my self-centeredness and unbelief.
(2 Corinthians 5:14-21; Mark 9:24. I am an ambassador of healing.)
Allowing Christ to heal relationally [as I let go of revenge], spiritually [as I forgive offenses], often resulting in physical healing [since forgiveness and healing are often related].
