Healing
Two years ago, when I said yes to serving as Senior Minister of Unity of Louisville, I knew there was a lot of healing to do. Our community had been through a season of uncertainty, no minister, financial challenges, and eventually, the release of our former property. Those are big transitions for any spiritual family. Yet when I look around today, I see evidence of healing everywhere.
I see it in the faces of those who've come back, ready to serve, sing, and grow again. I see it in our board and leadership, who have leaned into truth and transparency instead of fear. I see it in our laughter during Sunday fellowship, the joy of our youth exploring Spirit in new ways, and the quiet, sacred trust being rebuilt one conversation at a time.
Healing doesn't always happen with fanfare or instant results. Sometimes it happens in small, consistent ways, a prayer spoken with sincerity, a choice to forgive, or the courage to start fresh after a painful ending. And that's exactly what we've done together.
The Daily Word this week reminds us that taking good care of ourselves supports our healing. I've learned that lesson firsthand. In these past two years, I've had to look at my own patterns, the tendency to overextend, to try to hold everything together for everyone. I've learned that healing means honoring my own limits, saying “no” with love, and trusting that God's grace fills the spaces where I step back.
As Psalm 103 beautifully says, “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and do not forget all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases.”
Healing, at its heart, is remembering, remembering who we are in God, remembering that divine love never leaves us broken, only unfinished.
If you're walking through your own healing journey, emotional, physical, or spiritual, know that you are not alone. Healing is not a destination; it's a relationship with grace that unfolds one breath, one prayer, one choice at a time.
This Sunday, we're blessed to welcome Rev. Gerry Boylan back to our platform as he shares his heartfelt message on Healing. I hope you'll join us in person or online as we continue to celebrate the wholeness that is already ours. Together, we are the living proof that love heals everything it touches.
With love and gratitude, Rev. Bobby Kyser
Senior Minister, Unity of Louisville
