Luke 13:13 Meaning He Laid His Hands on Her

When love touches a mind, the change is not gradual, for guilt was never a real weight that must be lifted by degrees. The bent thought is made straight at once, because there was nothing to cure but a mistaken belief, and belief can be laid down in an instant. The touch asks nothing of the body; it changes only the mind that looks, and the straightening is simply what a mind does when the weight it imagined is released.

And the freed thought does not praise itself. Made upright, it turns at once toward its Source, for a mind healed remembers where its healing came from. This is the whole movement of the miracle: a shift of perception, and then gratitude that looks upward instead of down.

Hands: love's direct reach into the mind, the gentle correction that touches thought itself and asks nothing of the body Woman: the healed mind made straight, the once bowed thought that now stands upright and turns toward its Source
