Life’s Healing Choices begins with the understanding that Jesus really does want us to be happy. As we encounter Jesus’ words of encouragement to us in Matthew 5, “Blessed are…” we dig deeply to comprehend that the blessings of being spiritually poor, of mourning and being comforted, of being meek, pure in heart, etc. are at the heart of Jesus’ greatest desires for us — to know that a life hidden in Christ is a life that has all the capacity in the world to be truly, deeply, enduringly happy.

This week’s choice, The Reality Choice, helps us realize and accept the fact that we’re not God, and that we need help from someone much greater than ourselves to overcome our personal hurts, hang-ups, or habits. We don’t have to be an addict to need help. We just need to be human, accept our human condition and allow God to clean up the parts of us that are less than His plan for our holiness.

Life’s Healing Choices extends throughout our Community Groups as well as in Celebrate Recovery, which meets at Rolling Hills every Monday night at 7:00. Life causing you to struggle? Rolling Hills is a place for you to find resources to help you heal. Hang in there these next eight weeks and beyond, and see what God has planned for you!
