Escrituras: Genesis 3:6-9 e 21, Numbers 32:23, 1 John 2:2, 2 Corinthians 5:10, and Revelation 20:15

 

Genesis 3:6-9
então, when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew they were naked; and they sewed fig lives together and made themselves coverings. And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of God among the trees of the garden. Then the Lord God called Adam and said to him, “Where are you?”

Genesis 3:21
Unto Adam also and to his wife the Lord God make coats of skins and clothed them.

Numbers 32:23
But if ye will not do so, contemplar, ye have sinned against the Lord: and be sure your sin will find you out.

1 John 2:2
And He is the propitiation for our sins: and not ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

My marriage did not start out on a solid foundation. I married my husband, first, because I felt a bond with him because we aborted our first child, Joseph, 45 anos atrás, and second, because we were living in sin and I was about to graduate from college and that meant my parents would be visiting me in Ohio for the first time on my graduation. I was frantically trying to figure out, “How am I going to hide this from them?”

Seven weeks before my sister was to be married, she broke off her engagement. I had no idea she was even struggling in this relationship, and when I think back at that, I realize I didn’t even console my sister because I was very self-absorbed. I was living in sin and doing the devil’s bidding, and that made me a very selfish individual. I was obsessed with keeping that perfect mask on and making sure my sin would not be found out.

então, I devised a plan, “What if I took her place? That might work. The wedding is in August, and I graduate in December, so the timing will be perfect.”

I saw red flags. He was too controlling and manipulative, but he took care of my physical needs, so I decided to go forward with my plan.

A few days before the wedding, I was at my parent’s house, and I was vacuuming my brother’s room. The only window in his room was a small hexagonal window on top of the west wall. I was thinking to myself and saying a prayer of sorts; I didn’t know the Lord then, so I only cried out to Him in times of desperation. “Am I doing the right thing marrying John?” All of a sudden, the sun shone in through that little window on me, and I could feel the sun’s rays on my face. And I felt a calming in my spirit, and I said to myself, “OK, I guess that means yes.” So, I went through with it.

I was like Adam and Eve in the garden. I too was hiding from God, and I tried to cover up my numerous sins by rushing in and getting married and then thinking to myself, “That takes care of that; I am all good.”

Não. it doesn’t work like that. I was covering up my sin with more sin. Just like when Adam and Eve sewed fig leaves together to cover their nakedness (their sins), it didn’t work either. Only God through the blood of Jesus can cover our sins. Anything else is a counterfeit.

Are there sins in your life that you are trying to cover up too with more sin? Or are you medicating to numb yourself so you don’t feel anything? Or are you pretending your sins do not exist?

Um dia, your sins will find you out. They will all be exposed. Just when we think we can get away with something, God shines His light into our darkened souls, and he exposes our faulty misguided ways to deal with our sin.

The only way our sins can truly be covered is by trusting in Jesus and receiving the gift of salvation that God freely offers all of us. God killed animals to cover Adam and Eve’s sin. When we put our faith and trust in Jesus, His blood covers our sins.

If you have never asked Jesus to forgive your sins and be your Lord and Savior, then there is still time. Please, if God is convicting you right now, don’t delay. Please reach out to me, toni@myashestobeauty.com.

A mulher que Jesus curou

The Women Jesus Healed

por Toni Weisz/Disciplinas Espirituais

Referências bíblicas: Mateus 27:55-56, Mateus 28:1-7, John 19:25, Lucas 8:2, Lucas 8:44-50, e john 20:14-16

When I think back at how revolutionary Jesus was towards women in that day, I find it so amazing how they were permitted to travel and minister to Him and the disciples. Women during that time were treated like a piece of property with no rights, but Jesus changed that. They all felt valued and respected and were vital to the work He was doing.

In Luke Chapter 8, Mary Magdalene is described as a woman who was healed of evil spirits and infirmities, out of whom went 7 devils. Can you imagine for a moment the torment of a life she had? I wonder how many pregnancies she terminated? And how badly she was used and abused?

Mary was present for the most pivotal parts of Jesus’ life; she was at his crucifixion and burial. She was also at the tomb and saw the angels, and they spoke to her. She also met the Lord Jesus when He was resurrected and thought He was the gardener.

I love her conversation with Him. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?”

She said, “Sir, if you have carried Him away, tell me where you laid Him, and I will take Him away.”

Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and recognized Him.

How sweet that Jesus appeared to her of all people, the woman with the horrible, troubled, and tormented past. What an incredible honor. When Jesus completely heals our lives and gives us a new purpose and values and loves us, then our natural response would be similar to hers. We belong for the first time in our lives.

Jesus speaks these words about a woman in the city who was a sinner, who washes His feet with her tears and wipes them with her hair and puts expensive ointment on his feet and kisses them. All those who observed this shameful display were horrified because she was a woman, probably a prostitute.

Lucas 8:44-50
Then He turned to the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head. You gave Me no kiss, but this woman has not ceased to kiss My feet since the time I came in. You did not anoint My head with oil, but this woman has anointed My feet with fragrant oil. Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.”

Then He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

And those who sat at the table with Him began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”

Then He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Vá em paz."

 

We love Jesus so much because of the many sins He has forgiven us of. We want to share that same love with other women who are still being tormented by the evil one.

Perguntas para levar a sério:

  1. How has your life been impacted by Jesus?
  2. How do you serve Him because of what He has done for you?
  3. How are you sharing your testimony so others can hear the “Good News”?
  4. Como podemos encorajá-lo hoje?

If you too want to be healed by Jesus, the first step is receiving Him as your Lord and Savior. Please listen to the audio story below where I share Bible verses that will help you understand God’s Salvation plan for you. God loves you more than you can imagine. Will you give Him a chance? He is patiently waiting for you to cry out to Him.

Versículos das Escrituras:
Salmo 27:14, Isaías 40:31a e Salmo 103:13-14

Salmo 27:14
Espere no Senhor: tenha boa coragem, e Ele fortalecerá o teu coração; espere, eu digo, no Senhor.

Isaías 40:31uma
Mas aqueles que esperam no Senhor renovarão suas forças.

Salmo 103:13-14
Como um pai tem pena de seus filhos, então o Senhor se compadece daqueles que O temem. Pois Ele conhece nossa estrutura; Ele lembra que somos pó.

No meu diário desta semana, Eu estava lutando com sentimentos de rejeição, o que me fez ficar emocionalmente esgotado e fisicamente fraco. Depois de alguns dias, Finalmente sentei-me com o Senhor e abri meu coração para Ele. Tenho uma grande reunião de família chegando, e isso sempre, por algum motivo, ainda me deixa ansioso. Essas velhas feridas podem ser facilmente reabertas, e aquelas fitas antigas começam a tocar repetidamente em minha mente.

Tenho testemunhado a todos eles ao longo dos anos, até minhas sobrinhas e sobrinhos. Ninguém respondeu ao evangelho. Eu sei que isso não é minha responsabilidade; são deuses. Eu sei que o inimigo está tentando entrar em meus pensamentos porque ele quer que eu fique ansioso e ineficaz para Deus. Não, isso não está acontecendo. Estou ciente de sua trama, e estou me equipando com a armadura de Deus e Sua palavra para proteger minha mente e meu coração de suas mentiras.

Também, Estou triste com a doença do meu filho e com o fato de que ele e sua esposa estarão ausentes de nossa reunião familiar. Às vezes preciso de um tempo para sentir o que estou sentindo, em vez de apenas ignorar ou reprimir. Não há problema em ficar triste, frustrado e desapontado. então, Eu me permiti ir lá também, e depois, Eu me senti revigorado.

O inimigo está tentando fazer com que eu busque aprovação na área do meu tênis. Em vez de aproveitar a dádiva de poder brincar, Estou me esforçando demais para vencer partidas e obter a aprovação dos outros. Estou me esforçando demais, e estou fisicamente cansado. Em vez de, Eu preciso descansar no Senhor. Ele é quem vai renovar minhas forças (Isaías 40:31uma). Ele é quem vai me dar favor junto aos outros. Ele é quem abre o coração para ouvir a palavra de Deus e recebê-la. Eu sou apenas um vaso que Ele usa para Seus propósitos. Eu preciso voltar ao básico, aproveite o presente do tênis, e pare de tentar tanto ser perfeito.

Também tenho quatro eventos neste mês onde compartilharei meu testemunho e informações sobre nosso ministério., e o inimigo não está feliz com isso. Cada semana, recebemos uma ou duas novas mulheres que vêm para o nosso ministério. Preciso ficar perto do Senhor e manter meus olhos Nele. Ele é quem abriu essas portas, e eu preciso confiar nele. Ele é quem me dará favor e as palavras para dizer. Eu confio Nele completamente.

Deus quer que abramos nossos corações para Ele. Ele vê todos nós, e Ele conhece nossas lutas, nossas mágoas, e nossa fragilidade. Ele lembra que somos pó. Ele é quem nos criou em primeiro lugar. No Salmo 103:13-14, nós lemos, “Como um pai se compadece de seus filhos, então o Senhor se compadece daqueles que O temem. Pois Ele conhece nossa estrutura; Ele lembra que somos pó.”

Percebi que preciso entregar minha vontade e meu coração a Deus e confiar Nele todos os resultados. Eu não posso controlar essas coisas, mas posso controlar como respondo às coisas. Posso ter vitória em todas essas áreas se deixar Deus me usar da maneira que Ele quer e parar de me esforçar tanto..

Perguntas para levar a sério:

  1. Em que área você ainda está se esforçando?
  2. Por que você está se esforçando tanto?
  3. Você foi capaz de entregar tudo a Deus? Se não, por que?
  4. Como podemos orar por você?

Rezo para que este tópico tenha sido útil para você. Se precisar conversar, pode me enviar um e-mail para: toni@myashestobeauty.com.

Me chame de Mara (Parte 1 & 2)

Me chame de Mara (Parte 1 & 2)

Me chame de Mara (Parte 1)

por Toni Weisz/Disciplinas Espirituais

Referências bíblicas: Ruth 1:1-2,13b,19-20 and Romans 8:28, and Philippians 4:13

Ruth 1:1-2
In the days when the Judges ruled there was a famine in the land, and a man of Bethlehem in Judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he and his wife and his two sons. The name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife was Naomi, and their names of their sons were Mahlon and Chilion.

Ruth 1:13b
Não, my daughters; for it grieves me very much for your sakes that the hand of the LORD is gone out against me!

Ruth 1:19-20
Now the two of them (Naomi and Ruth) went until they came to Bethlehem. And it happened, when they had come to Bethlehem, that all the city was excited because of them; and the women said, ‘Is this Naomi?’ But she said to them, ‘Do not call me Naomi; call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly against me. I went out full and the LORD has brought me home again empty. Why do you call me Naomi, since the LORD has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me?

What were Naomi’s thoughts about leaving the land and her home? Did she agree with her husband’s decision? They traveled to a pagan country to live and raise their children. It seemed Naomi’s husband had no plan of returning. She did not experience the blessings of the Lord. Em vez de, her husband died, and her two sons married women from Moab, which was against God as He had commanded that they were not to intermarry with pagan women. Then her sons also died, leaving her alone with her two Moabite daughters-in-law.

It seems that Elimelech did not trust God to provide for him and his family, and he took matters into his own hands. This probably did not sit well with Naomi.

Did she ever discuss it with her husband? Or did she just sit quietly, but in her heart, she was crying out to God for help and guidance?

When Naomi returns home with Ruth, her daughter-in-law, she tells them to call her Mara because the Almighty has brought great bitterness to her. She was bitter because she had lost everything and felt God had abandoned her. She could have never imagined what the Almighty was going to do next. She would be the grandmother of Obed, who begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David, and so on in the line of Christ.

God chose a Moabite woman—Ruth—to be in the line of Christ. Sometimes we don’t understand why God allows certain things, but we know nothing is a surprise to Him. He knew Naomi and Ruth would return to Bethlehem-Judah and God would fulfill His plan. A Messiah would be born of a virgin named Mary, espoused to a man named Joseph, who was a descendant of Ruth and Boaz.

We too have taken matters into our own hands, just like Elimelech did, when we aborted our babies. We didn’t trust that God had a good plan for us. We had to do it all on our own because there was no one else, which was a lie from the enemy. We didn’t seek godly wisdom. We hurried and made our decision without even talking it over with our parents, trusted family and friends. It’s interesting to me that we women who talk to our closest family and friends about important matters would keep this a secret.

For those of you who have suffered abuse by the hand of another, perhaps even a family member, it’s hard to not become bitter and feel like God has abandoned you. I want to encourage you, querido, God sees you and it broke His heart every time you were abused. When you cried, He cried. I am so sorry that happened to you.

But GOD also has a beautiful plan for our lives too. He can make all things work together for our good for them that love God and are called according to His purpose (referência. Romanos 8:28).

He didn’t leave Naomi broken and feeling abandoned, and He will do the same thing for us. Will you trust Him today to take the ashes from your life, the abortion and the abuse, so He can use it to heal you in all your broken places so you can help other women heal from their trauma too?

We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us (Philippians 4:13).

Let’s talk about bitterness. Are you bitter because of what happened to you in your past or something you are dealing with right now? Are you struggling with a prolonged illness, your finances, a broken or dysfunctional relationship? Are you struggling with trials that are lasting years with no end in sight? How do we keep trusting God through these situations and not become bitter and despondent?

It’s OK to go there and to feel what you are feeling and share it in a safe environment and then move on. You are safe here to share.

Perguntas para levar a sério:

  1. Are you bitter over the bad things that have happened to you in your past and/or things you are struggling with right now?
  2. Have you felt like God has abandoned you?
  3. What has God done to show His great love for you?
  4. Como podemos orar por você?

The first step is recognizing you are bitter and feel alone. Just by being on this call or reading this blog, you are beginning to heal. God wants to redeem your past. He wants to give you beauty for ashes. Will you trust Him to do that?

Me chame de Mara (Parte 2): Hardship and Pain

por Toni Weisz/Disciplinas Espirituais

(Click here for Part 1)

Referências bíblicas
Ruth 1:19-20, John 16:33b, Romanos 12:2, e john 8:31-32

Ruth 1:19-20
então, they both went on until they came to Bethlehem. When they came to Bethlehem, the whole town was stirred because of them, and the women asked, ‘Is this Naomi?’ But she said to them, ‘Do not call me Naomi. Call me Mara, because the Almighty has brought great bitterness to me. I was full when I left, but the LORD has caused me to return empty. Why should you call me Naomi when the LORD has opposed me? The Almighty has brought misfortune upon me!

We have all felt abandoned by God at some point in our lives because of the trauma we have experienced through abortion and abuse. We were vulnerable to the enemy’s attacks.

When Naomi arrives back to her hometown to her friends and neighbors, she states, “The Almighty has brought misfortune upon me.” Naomi’s husband Elimelech made a series of very bad decisions, and Naomi says, “I left full and came back empty.” She states that God is against her. Have you ever felt that way? Have you também felt God has abandoned you?

Sometimes we suffer the consequences of our decisions, and it has nothing to do with God’s judgment. We make decisions based on our doubt or fear. I know I have, and they have never turned out to be good ones. I rushed to have my abortion, and I rushed into marriage so not to be caught living with my boyfriend. These dois things alone are life–altering decisions, and both were made out of fear of man. I wanted to cover up my sin, unfortunately, with more sin. That never turns out well.

I didn’t trust God because I didn’t know Him. My perception of God was distorted due to what I observed as a child. I thought He was an angry God and que He didn’t care much about me. Going to God with my unplanned pregnancy was not even a consideration. I was fearful of His wrath.

Even though Naomi knew God, she doubted Him. She was overcome by her grief and loss, and she lost sight of the goodness of God and His faithfulness over the years. It’s easy to forget those things when life becomes so hard and the trials last for years. It is easy to become despondent, deprimido, and bitter.

Em vez de, God wants us to focus on who we are in Christ.

In this world, you will have tribulation, but take heart; Eu venci o mundo (John 16:33b).

Segundo, we must renew our hearts and minds daily with the living powerful Word of God (referência. Romanos 12:2).

Terceiro, we must resist isolation and reach out and send a text or call and say, “I need prayer” ou “I need to talk.”

Quarto, we must have a safe community to share what we are experiencing so we can slowly unravel the chaos and the pain.

Our healing is a lifelong process. It is hard but also very beautiful. You are not alone. Ce are here to help you.

Never compare your story to someone else’s. The traumatic events that happened to you distorted your view about who you are and who God is from that dirty lens. God wants to remove the dirt and replace it with His truth.

John 8:31-32
Jesus said, “Se você permanecer na Minha palavra, vocês são meus discípulos de fato. And you will know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

There is victory in our Savior’s love. He has come to set the captives free (referência. Isaías 61:1).

Perguntas para levar a sério:

  1. List some Life–Affirming Statements with the Scriptures you can meditate on?
    Toni (my life-affirming statements):
    I am adopted into the family of God.
    I am more than a conqueror through Christ.
    I am never alone.

    I am forgiven.
    I am redeemed.
    I am victorious in Christ.
    I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
    I have an inheritance incorruptible thno can never be taken away.
    I am loved by God.
    He has a good plan for my life.

Seu olho está no pardal (Parte 1)
por Toni Weisz/Disciplinas Espirituais

 

Referências bíblicas: Mateus 10:29-31, Isaías 61:1-3 e 1 John 4:7-8

 

Mateus 10:29-31
Não se vendem dois pardais por uma moeda de cobre? E nenhum deles cai no chão sem a vontade de seu Pai. Mas os cabelos da sua cabeça estão todos contados, Não tema, portanto; você vale mais que muitos pardais.

Isaías 61:1
O Espírito do Senhor Deus está sobre mim, porque o Senhor me ungiu para levar boas novas aos pobres; ele me enviou para curar os corações quebrantados, proclamar liberdade aos cativos, e a abertura da prisão para aqueles que estão presos;

1 John 4:7-8
Amado, vamos nos amar, pois o amor vem de Deus; e quem ama nasceu de Deus e conhece a Deus. Quem não ama não conhece a Deus, porque Deus é amor.



Na tarde de segunda-feira, Junho 5, 2023, enquanto levo meu cachorro para passear, Me deparei com um passarinho. Coitadinha ainda nem tinha penas, e seus olhos estavam fechados. Imediatamente trouxe o cachorro e liguei para minha filha sobre o que deveria fazer. Quando eu mandei para ela uma foto do pássaro, ela disse, "Mãe, é um corvo.” Ela e eu odiamos corvos por causa da maneira como eles viajam em um grupo chamado de “assassinato” para atacar todos os filhotes indefesos..

Liguei para muitas agências de animais e uma sugeriu fazer um ninho na árvore onde estava o ninho original e os pais vão alimentá-lo. então, Eu me esforcei tentando encontrar meu ninho improvisado e coloquei na árvore. Então para minha surpresa, um par de mockingbirds veio várias vezes e alimentou o passarinho. Agradeci a Deus por enviá-los.

Eu odeio ver os fracos, vulnerável, abandonado, aproveitado e abusado ou morto. Eu odeio a queda quando toda a natureza e a humanidade caíram em pecado. Anseio por aquele tempo em que não haverá mais pecado, morte, dor, tristeza ou lágrimas. Eu pensei comigo mesmo, “Esta coisinha terá sorte se sobreviver durante a noite,"mas aconteceu para minha surpresa.

Na manhã de terça-feira, Olhei pela janela e vi um pica-pau ruivo perto do ninho, e eu corri pela porta para afugentá-lo. Eu pensei comigo mesmo, “Isso é uma loucura, você não pode fazer isso o dia todo; você ficará louco de pânico toda vez que outro predador vier. Toni, você precisa entregar isso a Deus e se render.”

Passou um pouco e percebi que o ninho havia caído da árvore, então procurei e encontrei o passarinho e coloquei de volta na árvore. Os mockingbirds estavam voando acima para me manter longe deste pássaro. Eu tentei assegurar-lhes, "Tudo bem."

Eu chorei e entrei em casa e escrevi esses pensamentos:
"Senhor, Eu não posso ajudar tudo e todos. Eu não posso salvar ninguém. Posso proteger e ajudar aqueles que você traz para mim, o melhor que posso, mas em última análise, Eu preciso entregar tudo a você, seja um pássaro abandonado, problemas de saúde do meu filho, uma mulher que você traz para o ministério ou para a salvação de um membro da família. Está tudo em Tuas mãos Senhor; Eu entrego o controle para você.

Observando os mockingbirds cuidando de um corvo, seu inimigo, Eu ouvi as palavras de Jesus, “Ame seus inimigos, abençoe aqueles que te amaldiçoam, faça o bem àqueles que te odeiam.” (Mateus 5:44)

Esses pássaros trabalhando juntos para proteger e alimentar este pequenino me lembraram do corpo de Cristo trabalhando junto para ajudar os vulneráveis, os fracos, e os feridos neste mundo. Neste ministério, queremos que os outros vejam o coração do Pai para com eles. Queremos que eles experimentem Seu grande amor e compaixão e que cuidem deles da maneira que Ele faria..

O tempo todo eu estava segurando esse passarinho em minhas mãos, Eu estava pensando no antigo hino, Seu olho está no pardal. As passagens bíblicas das quais este hino foi tirado estão em Mateus 10:29-31; “Não se vendem dois pardais por uma moeda de cobre? E nenhum deles cai no chão sem a vontade de seu Pai. Mas os cabelos da sua cabeça estão todos contados, Não tema, portanto; você vale mais do que muitos pardais.”

Eu só quero que você saiba, querido, que Deus te vê e te conhece tão intimamente porque Ele te criou. E Ele sabe quantos fios de cabelo tem na sua cabeça.

Venha até Ele e traga seus sonhos desfeitos, seu coração partido, sua vida quebrada, e Ele pode fazer algo lindo com isso se você estiver disposto a confiar Nele.

Perguntas para levar a sério:

  1. Você foi capaz de amar seus inimigos?
  2. Você já passou por uma época em que o corpo de Cristo trabalhou junto para ministrar a outros? Você pode dar um exemplo? Como você se sentiu?
  3. Como podemos orar por você?

Seu olho está no pardal (Parte 2)
por Toni Weisz/Disciplinas Espirituais

 

Eu tive que fazer planos para colocar meu querido e leal amigo para dormir. Tivemos Mozzie para 12 anos. Ele foi meu companheiro constante e meu protetor; ele realmente amou esse papel, lol. Ele estava quase cego e surdo, e ele não conseguia andar muito bem. Eu sabia no meu coração que mantê-lo vivo seria egoísta da minha parte. Ele cumpriu seu propósito nesta terra. Era hora de eu deixá-lo ir. Eu me dei algumas semanas para lamentar e deixar ir.

Em setembro 1, 2023, Eu o levei ao veterinário, e enquanto estava na sala de espera, o Senhor trouxe a canção, Seu olho está no pardal, para minha mente. Com lágrimas nos olhos e minha voz embargada, Eu cantei a música para Mozzie enquanto o segurava em meus braços e o balançava. Foi um momento doce e agradeço a Deus por isso. Eu não estava planejando ficar com ele até o fim, mas acho que Deus queria que eu estivesse lá com ele. Fiquei com ele até seus olhos fecharem e seu coraçãozinho parar de bater. Agradeci a ele por ser um amigo tão fiel. Agradeci a Deus pelo presente de Mozzie.

Na manhã seguinte, quando me levantei, Sentei-me em frente ao meu computador para começar minhas devoções matinais. O Senhor sussurrou ao meu coração, “Estou orgulhoso de você pela maneira como você demonstrou gentileza e como cuidou tão bem dele. Abençoa meu coração quando você ama minhas criaturas.” Eu sorri e meu coração se encheu de Seu amor. Eu quero te agradar, senhor, em todas as áreas da minha vida.

senhor, Eu quero ser curado

senhor, Eu quero ser curado

senhor, I Want to Be Healed

por Toni Weisz/Disciplinas Espirituais

Referências bíblicas: John 10:10b, Efésios 3:20, Isaías 41:10, Lucas 19:10 e Salmo 40:1–3

 

If we truly want to be healed from our past trauma, we must be willing to surrender all to God. We must step out and trust Him completely in this process even when it gets scary and it’s unpredictable and out of our control.

For those who have experienced abuse and abortion in our past, it is hard to let go of control because it was our protection, so we thought.

We have to come to the point where we don’t want to just survive; we want to live the abundant life Jesus came to give us (Read John 10:10b). We no longer want to just settle; we want to experience true love and acceptance, perhaps for the first time in our lives.

If you are reading this blog, you most likely have decided you want to be healed, too. You are courageous and tired of the life you were living and want more. You want to stop the cycle of dysfunction in your life and for future generations. This is a long and very hard process, but it is worth it.

If you are willing, God is able to do exceedingly abundantly more than what you can ask or think (Read Ephesians 3:20). That’s the God we serve. He is not limited by time and space. He is eternal.

I remember back in 2006, when God called me to the post–abortion healing and recovery ministry, starting a journal called, “Why are the relationships closest to me toxic?” God gave me awareness that there was something going on in my relationships with those closest to me. But what was it? I was the common denominator, so what was I doing to enable these toxic relationships?

I discovered many answers over a ten-year period of relentlessly going to God as a broken surrendered woman, “Lord I want to be healed from all the pain, rejeição, abuso, and my abortion. I want to be set free from my people-pleasing, fear of authority figures, and codependency. I want to know your love in the innermost parts of my being. I want to feel loved, cherished, and safe, but how do I get there?” Please read my blog, “When I Finally Received the Love of Jesus in My Heart.” https://myashestobeauty.com/when-i-finally-received-the-love-of-jesus-in-my-heart-toni-weisz-abortion-recovery-and-abuse-support-group/

God was so gentle with me because He knew how fragile I was after a lifetime of pain, rejeição, and trauma. He was leading me with His righteous right hand on a path of healing that was so difficult at times, but it was also beautiful (Read Isaiah 41:10).

I discovered the heart of God on this journey, e para isso, I am most grateful. To know the Father’s heart towards us is life transforming. He is love, gentle, kind, faithful, peaceful, generous, powerful, and eternal. He is close to the abused, neglected, abandonado, and broken. He came to seek and to save the lost (Read Luke 19:10). We were all that at one point. But God in His infinite wisdom, His abounding grace and love picked us up out of the pit and placed us on the Rock, Jesus Christ, our Lord, our strong foundation (Read Psalm 40:2).

Hallelujah!!! Obrigada, Jesus.

Perguntas para levar a sério:

  1. When did God show you the dysfunction in your life?
  2. What was your next step after your awareness?
  3. How is God healing you? Who or what did He use to accomplish this?
  4. Como podemos orar por você?

I watched this movie trailer recently that truly blessed my heart: Kendrick Brothers’ Show me the Father.
