“Jesus said, ‘Daughter, you took a risk trusting me, and now you’re healed and whole. Live well, live blessed!’” -Luke 8:48
If you didn’t get a chance to read Sherah-Leigh’s reflection on Monday take a moment to do that now!
Take time this week to journal or think about your hopes for healing and comfort.
Where would you like to experience wholeness? In what area of your life might it take courage to name the comfort and healing you seek?
After taking time to journal about your own self-care, imagine courageously reaching out to Jesus. What fears hold you back from reaching out in hope?
If a phrase or idea comes to mind that is helpful, write it down and refer to it this week and this month. Alternatively, copy the verse from today,”Live well, live blessed!”, and post it where you will read it frequently.
Of course, healing can come in many forms. It might be as simple as admitting you need to keep your doctor’s appointment! So be alert . . .what will “Live well, live blessed.” mean for you?
We hope that this has brought you some comfort and joy. If this has been meaningful for you please like, comment or share this with others.
