Wednesday, fifth week of Lent
God clothed the world in winter garments on this brilliant first day of Spring; it felt like a bride going out to meet her groom-pure beauty waltzing in the dazzling sunshine.
I am already dancing in the Father's heart, His lavish grace has picked me up and cleansed me from all my sin and shame. From His embrace I can see the edges of a beautiful white gown- a robe of righteousness adorns me. Forgiveness is being wrapped in love.
Medicine from Sacred Scripture:
"Cleanse me with hyssop and I will be clean; wash me and I will be whiter than snow." Psalm 51:7
"He has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness." Isaiah 61:10
"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.
