one of the things we were invited into during the retreat was to open our hearts to the desires that dwell there, to the wounds driven so deeply there, and to journey farther into the ache - to ask Jesus to meet us in that place.
what an amazing concept - to journey farther into the ache. most of us try to stifle it, to ignore it, or to deny it altogether. but to be invited to actually go there, to embrace it, to own it, and then to abide there with Him... wow. there is so much healing that He wants to accomplish - so much He wants access to that i've not acknowledged, much less given Him permission to enter in and to heal.
i am not discounting the tremendous work He had already begun in my heart. He is doing HUGE things in my heart and my life. He just wants more. image that. i've allowed Him into ugly, hurful places in my heart, and He's not repulsed - He wants more.
