The death of despair

from Unfolding Light · host Steve Garnaas-Holmes

      We had hoped that he was the one      to redeem Israel.                          — Luke 24.21But that wasn’t hope. It was wishing.It was too small, too maybe-maybe-not.Married to peace but flirting with despair,fooling around with wait and see.Listen. God’s quiet presence is absolute.Your sins can’t budge it. Death can’t touch it.Beware the illusion that the Beloved has gone,that you are alone, or doomed.Even in tragedy, the collapse of everything,the Beloved walks with you, toward grace.Don’t be afraid to go into your sadness,to walk that long dusty road of your shame.Jesus took your despair with him to the grave,the finality of disaster, the last possible dawn.Now the stone has been rolled from the tomb.Longing has been raised as true hope,trust in the One who can’t be kept away from you.Behold: both of you, eternally, are alive. __________________Steve Garnaas-HolmesUnfolding Lightwww.unfoldinglight.netListen to the audio recording:

The stigma of mental health within those who serve in the shadow of the cross is something that invokes the stigma of fear. Many of those in the clergy will choose to suffer in their despair rather than reaching out for help. Sometimes those suffering choose to wait until it's too late to get the real help that they need. At Wounded Warriors of the Cross our mission is to lift the stigma and the veil of silence that encompasses clergy mental health and assist those who suffer in silence. Wounded Warriors of the Cross is here to shed the light of Christ's love into those dark places.
