I don't know if anyone reads this, but I'm going to keep it up anyways. I wanted to talk about the only way to recieve healing. It is (as the photograph describes) to leave the world behind and take hold of Christ. For example: My anger. You see I had all this built up anger from my past right. So before began to seek God for help I would find excuses for being angry, instead of finding the root problem. Like if I were angry with the kids I'd blame them, "if so and so would just behave I wouldn't be so angry or if I were angry with Jeremy I'd blame him, "If you would just stop watching tv so much I wouldn't have this problem;" That was easy, because I never got to the root of the problem. Then, I can't tell you exactly when, but I stopped making excuses and began to seek help. I began to realize that it was never them, but something inside of me that was raging out of control. Once I left the world's way's behind, or my own fleshly desires behind, I began to see the cross more clearly. I began to understand I was hurting and that I was going to have to deal with my hurt once in for all. Alchol wasn't going to do it, drugs weren't going to do it, sleeping all day wasn't going to do it, but god, God was going to fix it. I I just had to accept that being angry with my husband and children now for the things that happened in the past were not acceptable, and are not acceptable. Do I still get angry?? Yes I do. But nothing like it used to be. As the lord Jesus heals me, the rage has gone completely. I still get angry, more frustrated than angry, but now if it is unjustified I am quick to apologize and to seek the Lord for answers. I pray you to will lay aside your own feelings to pick up the cross tonight. God Bless you all. Brenda
