HEALING: Part 2

Matthew 11:28 & Isaiah 55: 10-11

God’s mercy & goodness will never fail us. God calls us to come to Him for He seeks wholeness for all of His creation. In times of suffering, we can choose to unburden our hearts & lift up thanks, praise & rejoicing to our holy living God for all the blessings & healing we have received & will receive, for He has promised to heal us & to give us new life.

Moving Through Illness & Pain into Healing & Wholeness: Part 1 John 9: 1-38

Moving Through Illness & Pain into Healing & Wholeness: Part 2

Suffering, fear & pain are real & it is hard to ignore them. However, when we are able to shift our focus from the “WHY” question & chose to trust the reality that God loves us & promises to be with us when they do happen, we can make room in our heart for hope.

Living with Hope Beyond Reason: Part 1

It is human nature to want an explanation when things happen that turn our life upside down. When things happen that change our lives traumatically, that make no sense at all & that cause despair & feelings of hopelessness, most people, even people who claim not to believe in God, eventually do turn to God & ask; why? why did this happen? why me? & what did I do to deserve this?

Living with Hope Beyond Reason: Part 2

Most of the world’s religions recognize that some of the deepest & most unknowable questions are examined through Biblical stories. One of the darkest & most difficult stories that contains some answers to the question of why painful, challenging situations occur & how to navigate them & move forward, is found in the story of Abraham & his son Isaac in the book of Genesis

Connecting with Our Living Lord: Part 1

As perfect & spiritually feeding as the summer season appears, the fact of the matter is, woven within these glorious days, it cannot be denied that there are days when we may experience illness or unsettling situations that unbalance us & effect our body, mind, & spirit in one way or another. Suffering, grief & loss do not take time out for the months of the summer.

Connecting with Our Living Lord: Part 2

Try as we may, I do not think we are able to consistently handle balancing the beauty & suffering life brings us without God’s help. So, the question is, where does God who created us & all of life, fit into our lives in times of both beauty & periods of suffering?
