info_outlineSuffering not only affects us individually, but relationally as well. The four categories described last week may touch our relationships in some of these ways:
- Body - illness separates us from touch and personal contact
- Mind - misunderstanding and doubt can drive us apart
- Heart - emotions can overwhelm our words & actions, dividing us
- Soul - evil alters our sense of values, right & wrong, separating us from others
Like the leper in the Gospel of Mark today, we can reclaim the healing we need in our lives and the relationships around us. Here are three things to consider:
- Acknowledge what is broken and wounded
- Actively seek to reconcile with one another
- Call up God for the help and strength we need for healing
