Healing The Heart Weekend


Hello Everybody,
My wife and I just went to a weekend full of healing. The weekend was about all the hurts you may receive while you were young, we work with a ministry called Living Waters, allot of these hurts are hidden in your heart and you forget about them until later years. God showed us that many of us missed true LOVE from our families, our parents or grand parents. When this type of love is not showed unconditionally it causes us to feel rejected, not wanted, angry, confused and lonely, these are just a few things . We work with couples that come to the retreat looking for answers and God always shows up and there needs are met. Our ministry is not about blaming anyone for the way we feel or pointing fingers at our parents. They may not have received the type of unconditional love God had for them too. It is about understanding the hurts and the way they make us feel,then taking them to the cross and giving them to JESUS. These hurts can and will hinder your walk with God. When we don't receive proper Love as a child how can we believe that a God above can Love us unconditionally. Thats why he tells us in John 3:16 that God so loved the world (that includes us) that he gave his only begotten Son, That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. The key Word here is Love. There were no conditions in what JESUS done for us. He wants us healed so we can show unconditional love also. So basically this is a bit of what happened this weekend, there was so much more and it's hard to tell it all. These weekends take place in the mountains on North Carolina at a place called Apple Hill and it is such a beautiful and Godly place and you can just feel the presents of God there. I will be blogging about some of our teachings soon. God is the Living Waters that turns the wheels in our life.
