Curable Wounds

. Life . , , , , . 2 Comments

A painful or disappointing experience, never really stops being painful or disappointing. They don’t change. However, over time if we speak the Word (Luke 7:1-17),concerning our faith in God, painful and disappointing experiences will cease to affect and hinder our recovery. We find ways to live according to Love rather than the pain or disappointment. Spiritually speaking, while pain and disappointment may leave scars, with God there are no “wounds” which leave us incurable. For we are all capable of being changed for God’s glory when we allow healing to be a part of our journey.

Hope And Testimony

But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that it may be made clear that this extraordinary power belongs to God and does not come from us. 2 Corinthians 4:7-11

After having lunch with a friend today I realized my own selfishness. While catching up with our lives, not once had I given glory to God. As I continued to reflect, I had to ask myself where was my faith? Our physical life is not a test but rather a testimony – and our spiritual disciplines really are important. If in Christ we have hope, the expectation that things yet unseen or experienced will manifest in our lives. Then to live according to this hope, is to live with a testimony that the presence of Christ lives within us. Our living is our testimony. Sometimes however in the chaos of living we forget to speak the Word, to proclaim God’s glory with our mouths. For the believer, regardless of our situations, failures and successes, every new day is hope and every day we live is a testimony. Remember daily to Speak the Word.

2 Corinthians 4:7-11 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible in our bodies. For while we live, we are always being given up to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus may be made visible in our mortal flesh.
