it could be a problem of semantics. I may have recovered also, but I still feel bad for whatever I did to hurt anyone. How can I recover from hurting someone else? If they are still hurting, then I cannot recover from them feeling pain. Does that make sense? In other words, I may be able to recover for my own self and my own pain, but if I have been responsible for someone else's pain, then I cannot recover for them and I still feel bad for them and for what happened that I may or may not have been responsible for. I know the idea is that Jesus can zap, make one all better, but we cannot have the faith for someone else or it's like being back under that control again and telling someone how they should be responding to their Lord and savior.
