Medicine cures, doctors diagnose, God heals

There is a short saying that I would like to provide a brief commentary. It is simply this: Medicine cures, doctors diagnose, God heals.

There is medicine, diagnosis, and healing. Medicine does not cure all diseases all of the time, be it herbal or pharmaceutical medicine. In fact, medicine may not cure disease at all; it may only act to correct internal disharmonies. At that point, the body reverts to a state of health. Cure implies that someone is trying to eliminate a disease through medication, surgery, or therapy. Curing gives us the gift of time.

Modern doctors are known as diagnosticians; they diagnose the disease, usually based on the symptoms and laboratory findings.

Healing has little to do with the removal of symptoms. It is more about connecting with our Source, our Inner Being, our God. Healing belongs to God. It is true that a person can be healed and not cured. Likewise, a person can be cured and not healed. It is truly a blessing if one can be both cured and healed.

May there be great healing throughout the world. ~
