HEAVY LIFTING - by Lisa Are Wulf

Spiritual Struggles





News flash! We're all spiritually broken. Some of us are only slightly dented while others are in pieces on the floor. But we all bear the scars of life. So whose responsibility is it to heal us? Our pastor? A counselor? Or maybe it's ours - at least according to the can-do American spirit.

Actually, the real answer is Christ. He does the heavy lifting for us. But we have to cooperate. Recently I heard a pastor sharing the story about Jesus healing the blind man and telling him to go wash in the pool. What if the man didn't? Would he have been healed?

Jesus as the heavy lifter reminds me of my first City Council campaign. In my TV commercial a group of people were straining to push a stalled car. When I appeared on the scene, the car began to move. This may be a silly example. But without our "heavy lifter," true healing remains elusive at best.
