What do you need to receive from Jesus today?
Let him wash your feet, your wounds, the weariness from your heart
Let him wash your feet, your wounds, the weariness from your heart
Holley Gerth
The women sat inside my car sheltered from the rain outside , awaiting their carpool to the Retreat . Their shoulders slumped and fingers clasping tissues , their faces distant with concern , sighing deeply .
Life hasn't been easy and trials were reflected in their eyes. Their posture weighted down with every awful mistreatment and abuse of living life . . . . the mallet of defeat hammering away at their self-respect . This retreat wasn't about wanting to go , but needing TO BE THERE .
" I have tissues if anyone needs some ", said Emily .
Oh, tears will be spilt . Feet will be washed . Wounds will be healed . Weariness will be lifted and a renewed , refreshed heart will come back . A sense of , " we are good enough " , and " we are worthy to be loved ," will be imprinted upon their soul .
That's what a Women's Retreat does to a heart . I'm both envious and excited for these women . I've been there and I know what it will do for them . How much they need it .
The women that came back were smiling . It didn't matter the age differences or the ethnicity of their background . They shared , they cried , they laughed . . .. they bonded .
