Friday, first week of Lent
I am no good at that trust game where you close your eyes and free-fall backwards hoping someone will catch you. To me, that is what trusting God looks like- I have to fall into His arms of grace and hope He catches me; so far His track record is impeccable.
When do you have trouble resting and trusting? Try looking into your heart, asking forgiveness for what you know to be wrong, and then rest quietly and confidently and watch what happens in you and in your relationships.
Medicine from Sacred Scripture:
"In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it." Isaiah 30:15
"If we come to the Physician, if we ask Him, He will not hide from us, but will eagerly disclose to us which of these medicines make us whole." John Chrysostom Fourth Century Homily. Medicine heals our bodies and soul medicine brings healing to our souls. Come find the medicine your heart longs for; learn from the Sacred Writings of the early church fathers and from Sacred Scripture and be made whole.

- Come peer through the lens of Sacred Writings and Scripture to know ourselves and be made whole. There is always medicine to apply in our lives: emotional, relational, social and spiritual. My prayer is that the words of the early church and scripture will inform our identity and bring us healing that equips us to know and serve God with all our hearts.
