Hiding of Healing?

The More We Hide, The Less We Heal. – John Mark Comer
Your doctor requires it. Your waiter expects it. Your girlfriend demands it.

Vulnerability.

Your doctor can’t give you the medicine to ease your pain if you won’t admit you’re sick. Your waiter can’t bring you the food to satisfy and silence your rumbling stomach if you won’t admit you’re hungry. And your girlfriend can’t be your girlfriend in the first place if you won’t admit she sends your heart racing.

In the final message of our series Becoming, we examine how vulnerability empowers us to grow closer to Jesus by growing closer to others.
