For anyone out
there who has been led to believe that your life-experiences are beyond hope because
your specific circumstances are not found in the Bible, I share with you my
hope that the answers to those problems and life-experiences are found in the
Bible.
In equation form,
it would look something like this:
|
Anything you are
going through whether or not it is found in the Bible
|
+
|
All the Bible’s answers
to what you are going through
|
=
|
Freedom, healing,
comfort, consolation, help, reviving, rest
|
As I have said
before, we do not need to find post-traumatic stress disorder, schizophrenia,
anorexia, dissociation, satanic ritual abuse, depression, or any other words or
labels used to describe what anyone is going through. We only need to live like
the answers to what we are going through, and how we are doing in the midst of
those circumstances, is thoroughly and clearly revealed in the word of God.
I am so sure
of these things that I make this offer[1]:
you share with me what you are going through, what you believe about what you
are going through, and how you feel about what you are going through, and I
will share with you the hope that is already pouring out of God’s word to help
anyone who is willing to bring their needs to my gracious God.
Here is the
way it is stated in the Bible: “For we do
not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one
who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then
with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and
find grace to help in time of need.”[2]
If you will
let me, or any Christian who has the faith to walk with you in this, lead you
to the throne of grace with whatever you are going through, God will show you
his mercy and grace to help you in your time of need. From there, you only need
to decide that you will do what God’s word tells you in order to experience the
“good and acceptable and perfect”
will of God.[3]
