Canons On The Run
Resisting The Right Thing
When injuries or infirmities creep into our lives, physical or spiritual, we tell ourselves, "I can take care of this," or, "This will probably go away." Why do we instinctively resist seeking professional help? Like a doctor wants to make our physical ailments better, so our God wants to help us find true healing and wholeness. By letting God into our pain, God's love transforms us so that we can begin to better understand what St. Paul wrote: "when I am weak, then I am strong" (2 Corinthians 12:10).
