Christ has called us to do a great many things, however He said Himself that the greatest commandment is LOVE. When I think of how we are to love others, there seems to be no end to what we can do to help those in need, however I feel more and more that we do less and less to go out and reach others. We forget that God can to heal our wounds and mend our spirits, and has given us an opportunity to show that love to all those around us.

I immediately thought of Connecting. The premises are the same-when love and communication flow from God into an individual then out onto others healing and growth happen. This is a difficult challenge to both counselors and believers in general. Experiencing someone else's world as they experience it is scary and risky. It opens the person up to a vulnerability many are uncomfortable with, but this is where the deep healing and connections can happen.Brittannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12342386661613609784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327598978675535878.post-8656903424489796132012-04-14T17:37:32.151-07:002012-04-14T17:37:32.151-07:00It is so true that we long for the kind of relatio...It is so true that we long for the kind of relationship with God described by Crabb in those quotes. Yet we have such a hard time forming that relationship and we struggle to trust Him. Because we learned how to relate to other entities through interactions with other people first, many of us have been hurt. As Dr. Corsini said in our last class, we often relate to God in the same way we relate/related to our primary caregiver. Fortunately, having a relationship with God is not like having one with a human being. God is perfect. Just as you said, He has proven Himself, He has proven His love, it could not be any more clear that He is worthy of our trust.Chelsea Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05467971185544983167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327598978675535878.post-72882609412131590252012-04-11T06:31:34.679-07:002012-04-11T06:31:34.679-07:00Jeff, you are right and it is very true that the c...Jeff, you are right and it is very true that the center of our lives should and is always about Him. It is a good reminder of His gracious grace which He gives us freely so we can be transformed in Him and enter the spiritual battle for each other with certainty that He is in control.Wen Yuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12468457732852972836noreply@blogger.com
