For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother's womb. I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well. My frame wasn't hidden from you, when I was made in secret, woven together in the depths of the earth.... -
For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees? But if we hope for that which we don't see, we wait for it with patience. Romans 8:24 WEB'Oh I don't want to face tomorrow. I have a bad, bad, feeling about this.' On and on we go into a spiral of sel...

Baby Jesus from Refreshing Hope Ministries on Vimeo. Today I want to talk about “Who is Jesus?” I feel that we take it for granted that people actually know that much about Him. In the world we see Jesus as a baby in a manger, then crucified on a cross. The life of Jesus seems to span...
Blood in the Water

He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds. Psalms 147:3 WEB
When sharks sense blood in the water, they will go into a feeding frenzy where they attack the wounded and devour them, even if it is another shark. They get so caught up in this that they may even turn and attack each other. The water becomes cloudy, everything becomes blurred, and everyone around them becomes a target.
Church life can be messy. We are all imperfect people trying to represent a perfect God, and when we fail, people get wounded. Many are just victims of church abuse and it is not their fault at all. If you get deeply involved in a church, chances are that you are going to find things that you don't like about it. You can find yourself being one of the wounded.
Jesus reached out to the hurting, he touched the outcasts, he ate with the sinners, and He told us parables like the good Samaritan who stopped to help the wounded man. We are to help the wounded among us, not turn and destroy their lives, dash their hopes, and drive them away.
Today if you know someone that has been wounded, reach out to them. You might just be the only friend that they have on earth at a time when everyone else has turned their back on them. If you are one of the wounded, hang on to God and understand that God still loves you, but His followers can often fail to show it.
Prayer: Heavenly Father I thank You for today. Please forgive me of hurting others, as I forgive those that have hurt me. Help me to live a life of victory and make my enemies live at peace with me. Help me be slow to speak and to always think first. Use me to heal the hurting, rescue the lost, forgive the unforgiving, and bind up their wounds, in the name of Jesus Christ I pray.

Amen! We as Christians are supose to be the body of Christ. We are to become an army so to speak. I have often said that the church is the only army I am aware of who shoots it's own wounded. Where is the healing in that?
