This Is Where the Healing Begins

If we open our eyes to what we do not want to see surrounding us…

• People are struggle to find acceptance and love.
• Individuals are weighted by guilt, unable to forgive.
• Spouses are strangers.
• Children are consumed by so much pain that they inflict harm upon themselves just to feel in control.
• We have all experienced pain.  We all need someone on whom we can depend.

Where do you turn?

• Friends and family can be great resources.
• Counselors provide a safe and welcoming haven for healing.
• Churches offer environments and teach application of the word.

And there is Jesus!

• He is the perfect parent and best friend.
• He is the Mighty Counselor and Ultimate Healer.
• He is the Word.
• Reach out to your family and friends.
• Seek counselors and community for assistance.
• Turn to Jesus continuously for he is the source of healing.

When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and anchored there… As soon as they got out of the boat, people recognized Jesus… They ran throughout that whole region and carried the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was… And wherever he went—into villages, towns or countryside—they placed the sick in the marketplaces. They begged him to let them touch even the edge of his cloak, and all who touched him were healed. (Mark 6:53-56)
