There's Hope With the Healer

DAY 5 OF 5

Too many times we get embarrassed about where we’ve been. We shamefully hide our past and try to pretend we don’t have scars. But that only blocks us from being the living testimony of God’s Grace to the world.

This probably isn’t news to you, but the world doesn’t need to look at the Church and see a bunch of people acting like they have it all together! They know we don’t! So let’s show them the broken, humbled, contrite, messed-up, forgiven people who are willing to walk with their mats!

My mat says that I was an addict, a liar, a thief, a con artist. I was a bad friend and manipulator.

And then I made it to the Healer! He forgave me of my sin. He took away my anger. He released me from my resentments. He took my shame and gave me a story. He turned my mess into a message. He healed me! I’m not perfect today, but I’m walking in freedom thanks to the Healer who gave purpose to my pain.

He wants to do the same for you. Let your desperation drive you to the Healer, and let your mat become your message.

Today’s the day. Take up your mat and walk! There’s HOPE with the Healer!

About this Plan

There's Hope With the Healer

Sometimes hope comes in the form of friends who will tear the roof off a house to get you in front of The Healer. And sometimes it comes in the words The Healer says to you after that. Lance Lang knows the Power of Hope firsthand; here he unpacks some of his story of addiction and recovery to show how there's always Hope with The Healer.
