The Power Of God Offers Hope For Healing And Lasting Change In Your Life.
If you research the issue and talk to people that you know, many who are on prescribed psychotropic medications (antianxiety, antidepressants typically) will tell you that they simply mask the symptoms and allow them to cope. Many secular approaches to counseling will focus on how to “manage” your issues. Wouldn’t you like to learn how to gain the victory over them?
Once the root causes of issues and problems have been identified and dealt with, it is then important to “walk out” the truths of the bible and take hold of the promises that Jesus has made possible for us.
Inner (or emotional) healing is a major concern that people have when they come in for help. Maybe it is something that you are looking for?
Imagine having a splinter in your leg. You go to the emergency room, not knowing what the problem is and expect them to fix you. You would understand the need to remove the splinter first so healing can follow.
Real and lasting change can happen in a person’s life when they can look upon their past and other people’s lives through the eyes of Christ. A competent Christian counselor will share God’s perspective with you and help you to grow in that. A key part of that growth will involve learning about and being able to receive the love and grace of God in your life.
As you are able to do that in your life, it will help you in your dealings with everyone else on a day-to-day basis. Everyone: family, friend, co-workers and yes, even enemies! Isn’t that possibility worth exploring?
