Healing

Today's passage: Malachi 4:1-3  

"But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall."  Malachi 4:2, ESV

Reflect
=> What healing touch do I need from the Lord? 
=> Can I envision a time when I will be entirely free from the bondage of sin? What do I imagine that kind of exhilarating joy and freedom feel like?


Although Malachi is referring to a time when we will be free from all sin for eternity, God gives us glimpses of such freedom in the here and now. Handing over our hearts, minds, and souls to God, relinquishing control and surrendering to Him, and putting our whole lives into His hands allows us a breath of that peace, joy, and freedom. Like the healing warmth of the sun's rays, God wraps us in His warm embrace and willingly takes our burdens from us. We simply need to allow Him in.

Respond
Ask for change: Lord, You know that it's difficult sometimes for me to hand over my burdens. Help me open my heart fully to You so that You may begin to heal me fully.


Consider what's real: Choose today or another day this week to allow yourself to rest fully in God. That might mean doing absolutely nothing for the day and releasing yourself from your normal duties and responsibilities. Or it might mean allowing yourself to indulge in a creative or outdoor activity that you enjoy but don't experience very often. Let God guide your day, and allow it to unfold as He wishes. In this place of rest, ask Him to heal your heart and breathe new life into your weary spirit.

Additional verses to consider: Matthew 11:28   Ron Moore

" John 10:10 New King James Version (NKJV) 10  The thief does not come except to steal,  and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life,  and that they may have  it  more abundantly."       When we talk about the abundance of blessings, most people assume that because talking about it is closely related to the problem of sheer material, but fundamentally the Lord speaks of the abundance of blessing, not only of material things, but also talk about the abundance of blessings in a perfect way.

"Allah menciptakan manusia itu menurut gambaran-Nya, menurut gambaran Allah diciptakan-Nya dia, laki-laki dan perempuan diciptakan-Nya mereka" (Kejadian 1:27) Pada dasarnya secara alamiah kita memiliki jati diri yang secara naluriah terbentuk dan membentuk kita menjadi seseorang dan bukan menjadi atau mengikuti jati diri orang lain, terbentuk menjadi seseorang yang memiliki kejujuran, memiliki bentukan karakter tersendiri dengan ciri khasnya, memiliki integritas yang tinggi, memiliki keyakinan baik terhadap kemampuan diri maupun khususnya terhadap Sang Pencipta, memiliki kasih di dalam hatinya dan tentunya yang tidak kalah penting adalah adanya kesetiaan dalam dirinya, walaupun terkadang kesemuanya ini disamarkan, seolah-olahtidak mereka miliki, dan terbentuk seolah-olah mereka mengabaikan hal ini dalam bentukan yang mereka anggap sesuai dengan diri mereka sendiri,
