HEALING OF THE HEART

Another great start to the morning with a dose of Ragamuffins:


Healing of the Heart:
Experientially, the inner healing of the heart is seldom a sudden catharsis or an instant liberation from bitterness, anger, resentment, and hatred. More often it is a growing into oneness with the Crucified who has achieved our peace through his blood on the cross. This may take considerable time because the memories are still so vivid and the hurt is still so deep. But it will happen. The crucified Christ is not merely a heroic example to the Church: he is the power and wisdom of God, a living force in his present risenness, transforming our lives and enabling us to extend the hand of reconciliation to our enemies.
I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh. Ezekiel 11:19

Where have you seen God's grace in your life today?
