Hope For Today "Denial"

We are often reluctant to admit problems and deal with painful events as they occur.  We push them down into the deep recesses of our souls and put our best face on.  This is like shoving clutter into a closet and tightly closing the door before guests arrive. This works for a while but at some point we have to open the closet door and when we do that with overstuffed closet, everything inside falls out around our feet.

It’s just a week since Good Friday and our remembering the great sacrifice Jesus made on our behalf.  Our world is full of many troubles and the death and resurrection of Jesus is meant to reassure us, particularly during troubled times, that God has a good way forward for us.

We live well when we live as the people God says we are even when we stumble and do and say things we wish we had not. 

Remember the old term "being wishy washy?" We are great at doing things for a short while bug challenges come and how easily we get diverted or stumble. How do we find the help we need to be more consistent?
