Out of the gaping wounds of our heart come much joy. The beauty for ashes that cover us so completely and spills out onto others that carry the same scars.
In His great goodness and with His perfect love He draws hearts together, giving strength to those unified under Him.
He intends for us to minster to each other, pouring out hearts and holding each other up, just as “iron sharpens iron.”
And for those who hear the calling and answer, “Here I am Lord, send me”, experience the blessings a hundred fold.
I would like to introduce you to my beautiful friend Kris.
Who through her pain and deep sorrow looked up and found a God that loved her and carried her through the deepest time of her life.
She has used her pain to reach out and minister to others just like herself, each struggling within themselves to make sense of it all.
It is only found in the daily bread, this healing place, and Kris serves the manna with a beautiful, gracious spirit, and she serves it within the Charlie Jars. Bringing hope to mother’s everywhere with the promises of the Lord, bringing a daily dose of encouragement and love.
This was my amazing friends gift to me on my birthday. A Charlie Jar, to bless and encourage me with the hope that she has found in His promises.
She shares her heartbreaking story in her book “Battle Cry” and tells of healing found only in our Jehovah Rapha-The Lord that Heals.
Stop by Kris’ website: http://agirlandsomehope.com/
And if you or anyone that you know needs hope and healing, check out the Charlie Jars.
Your words were found, and I ate them,
And Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart;
For I am called by Your name,
O Lord God of hosts.
Jer. 15:16
The Portion of my Inheritance
