Recovered In Christ

Sunday, February 23, 2014

Most of us have been terribly afraid of dealing with real emotional pain…phobic in fact. But all of our attempts to hide and flee from soul stretching pain does nothing except cause those wounds to fester. Christ’s healing power does not remove the sting of our pain in order that we may experience transcendent joy…rather, his glory is revealed in the darkest places of our pain. Our joy is in finding him in the loneliest places of ourselves.

“In my deepest wound I saw your glory, and it dazzled me.”
– Augustine of Hippo
