When Jesus sent out the first disciples to preach the gospel, He had given them this command: “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.”

 

 

Isaiah 40:29: “He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.” Psalm 147:3: “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”

 

The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence.

~Thich Nhat Hanh

 

 

 

You need to accept yourself. Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. If, in our heart, we still cling to anything - anger, anxiety, or possessions - we cannot be free. People have a hard time letting go of their suffering.

~Thich Naht Hanh

 

 

One of the most beautiful ways for spiritual formation to take place is to let your insecurity lead you closer to the Lord. Natural hypersensitivity can become an asset; it makes you aware of your need to be with people and it allows you to be more willing to look at their needs. 

~Henri Nouwen

 

Do not let your hearts be troubled, trust in God, believe also in me.

~Jesus
