NightWatch Podcast EPISODE 15: MY STORY PART 7 – HEAL: 4 MIN.

HEAL

Writing a historical novel (Bloodlines) opened the eyes of her two authors (John and Mark). Our experience prompted us, in the early ‘90’s, to launch a ministry that we named HEAL.

You will have to listen to this podcast to get the bigger picture. It is likely not what you would expect in a collection of stories with the theme of “The love of God and the love of Country.”

But to launch things off…HEAL is actually an acronym. Each letter in the word represents a “Jesus character quality.”

HUMILITY:
Admit when history proves you wrong. Take the blame even when you have not done anything wrong. That’s what Jesus did for you. (2 Cor 5: 21)

ENDURANCE:
“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” (Galatians 6:9). “Let us run with endurance and active persistence the race that is set before us.” (Hebrews 12:1) We should practice these admonitions in our pursuit of healing broken relationships.

AFFIRMATION
Agree that the Bible is the standard by which we measure our understanding. Give respect to those who are different from you, cheerfully and openly.

LOVE
Use the lessons of history for the benefit of others rather than to prove your own point of view. Seek the interests of others. Practice kindness. Defend the defenseless. Keep no record of wrongs.
