“Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.” Psalm 51:10

Following Jesus while Seeking Joy and Contentment in the Christian Life
The Musings of a Writer / Editor in Training
I'm Ash. I love Jesus. I'm a wife and a mum. I'm a teacher. I'm also studying my Masters of Counselling. I started studying a few years after started the very hard work of engaging my own story of harm and trauma. This is a place where you'll hear my stories, as well as the stories of others. I'll also reflect on faith, healing and walking with Jesus. I pray that these words might encourage you to do your own painful but life-bringing work of examining your own stories, and allowing Jesus to heal the parts of you still locked in shame. For He came that we might have life, and have it to the full. Welcome, fellow traveller.

Great article. Major point: “The worshiper makes no pretense at filling up what is lacking God, but cries out that God fill his heart with divine and supernatural life.” Amen and amen!
Thanks for posting this. Blessings.
