Help For Hurting Souls
(Matthew 15:18-20a/ NIV) “But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them. For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. These are what defile a person;…”

The hard knocks of life make some people vulnerable prey to handling things in ways that are dangerous for themselves and other people. The world labels them as criminals. As believers, we see people whose hearts are sick. The world’s solution for the trouble caused by people who make wrong choices is to lock them away. The Kingdom’s answer is to ‘show them the way’ to a Savior Who is standing by and ready to bring healing to their hearts. In our own truth, we were criminals within ourselves before we surrendered to the light and love Jesus offered us when we chose to abide in Him. It took time; it took patience; it took experiences, and people and relationships to help us find our way. Now it is our objective to reach people with the Good News of Jesus by demonstrating to them what we receive through our intimate relationship with Him. Do you know any sick-hearted people? Pray and ask the Lord how you can make a difference and help hurting souls to experience His healing power.
