”The ache of life heals when we are awed by (Abba) God.
Wherever the ache of life meets more of the awe of (Abba) God, we are more healed.
More than any other emotion, what heals us is the awe of (Abba) God.
And what is awe really but the glory of (Abba) God?
That’s what the research undeniably indicates: (Abba’s) God’s glory undeniably HEALS us.
Our story finds healing where we’re awed by (Abba’s) God’s glory.
If you want to heal more of the losses in your life, make it your way of life to get outside every day to hear what (Abba) God means to tell you: “The heavens are telling the glory of (Abba) God” [Psalm 19:1].
That means? That means (Abba) God sings close over us with spread of sky, (Abba) God stuns and awes with painted sunrises, (Abba) God unravels stress with His choreographic dance of stars, (Abba) God enfolds us everywhere in surround sound: “Glory, glory, glory, I am glory and I fill everything with glory so why fill with worry?”
When the heart is full of trouble, step outside to see that the whole earth isn’t only full of trouble, but ultimately is full of His glory.
Step outside and watch the Maker of clouds overhead, lift the clouds within.
He who breaks the clouds can heal our heartbreak, and the Maker of a million stars can heal every kind of broken heart.
The river winds on and unknots a tangle of worries, and the grasses surrender and bend in the wind so they don’t break, and “(Abba) God is a sun that never sets… As the air surrounds you, even so does the mercy of your Lord,” writes Charles Spurgeon, and there is time to look out, to look up, to breathe glory deep into the lungs, and to feel it happen: more healing written into our wounds and our losses.
The way to navigate loss is to lose all that distracts from the glory of (Abba) God.
Glory heals and beauty binds up and awe awakens us to (Abba) God here, right here.
