Being in Christ changes everything about life. It redeems us, makes us a new creation and
brings us into an indelible relationship with the Most-High God. It gives us a new identity and new
behaviors. It makes us part of a
fellowship of caring, loving Christians, and citizens of heaven where we are
eternally part of the Communion of Saints.
Being in Christ gives a vision of what this life is really all
about. It blesses us with purpose,
direction and a God-given mission. In
Christ and through His Holy Spirit, we are placed on a path toward health and
wholeness in body, mind and spirit.
Hopefully this describes your spiritual pilgrimage,
but it does seem that we easily get stuck in our own worldliness and succumb to
Satan as he seeks to thwart our journey into holiness and wholeness. No place is this truer than in our propensity
to cling to the emotional and spiritual wounds which this cruel world has
inflicted upon us. Our wounded-ness
manifest itself in such things as depression, spirit of rejection, un-forgiveness,
bitterness, anger, self-centeredness, guilt… you name it. These wounds can be decades old, even from
our childhood; yet, they can haunt us to our grave.
Wherever you are stuck on your journey into wholeness
and holiness, know that our Triune God desires a healing for you. Father Rob
