Last week was week two in our Children at Risk School and our topic of study was Inner Healing. Our speaker was an amazing woman named Christy Scott. She was so extremely helpful in my understanding of God’s unconditional and unfailing love.
Inner healing, True Christian inner healing is firmly grounded in all aspects of the truth, biblical truth, factual truth and moral truth. The person is brought into the light of God's Word, the light of logic and right thinking and factuality and the light of repentance and forgiveness.
Inner healing is the application of the grace and peace of Jesus Christ to the pain and confusion of the damaged emotional life.
So many times I’ve told myself, there is NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING I can do that will separate me from God’s love, and this information has always been in my head. But, for some reason this information stays in our minds and does not go to our hearts. Mathew 21 says that God will be our savior and our redeemer and I believe that with my entire heart. And I cannot be more grateful for a Father that looks past my sham, my human mistakes and loves me the same.
But this week I have had the realization that indeed I cannot be loved more or be loved any less by God, He already loves me unconditionally. He knows everything that I have done and everything that I have yet to do and he will love me regardless of anything.
This concept is extremely wild to me! I am so loved and he has already forgiven me for the things I have done and the things I will do! God has not come to add to our burden but to ease it and bring hope and restoration!! How amazing is the God we serve!
This past week was also an incredible week to fully restore my identity in Christ. Right from the beginning we were made in God’s image, we have an identity, a value, a purpose, all in God.
He knows me so intimately that there is nothing I can hide from him. And although there is so much beauty in that, there is also such a great responsibility! The creator of the Universe will hold me accountable for all I have done, and because of that I have to honor him in my actions and with the words I speak.
