We all need help! Turning to Jesus is the first step in admitting our need for help. Jesus helps us directly with His very presence AND He brings us into relationship with each other so we can help each other too along with Him.

King David's story starts with him working as a shepherd for his father, being excluded from a party for his father's sons and shows that God saw it all. God saw David's heart seeking His own and together they grew a relationship that defied human storylines. Like David, when we seek God for help, the stories we write for ourselves transform over time into His story for us. His story always includes Him! With God comes goodness of growing in love with Jesus.

Best thing to happen to us ever!

Lies we learn about Jesus and mistrust we grow from trauma toward Jesus keep us from the truth of His love. We experience His love when the pain of sin in our lives forces a question: keep going our own way or start going toward Jesus. Letting go of our way makes room for us to experience being loved by Jesus and that changes us! It starts us on the journey toward wholeness and maturity that Jesus made possible for us on the cross. The companion on this journey: the Holy Spirit.

Jesus walked through and worked through the unique pain in each one of our lives! Every single bit of pain in your life, Jesus already walked through and worked through that pain into a pathway to life. That was the work He did on the cross for us. Now we can walk where He leads us, no matter how dark it looks to us because He already walked and marked the path to life in our stories with His story.
