Jesus meets us in our weakness, restores what is withered, and calls us to receive his mercy and healing, even when others resist compassion.

Friends, some of us walked in today with hands that feel tired and hearts that feel thin. Maybe you’ve been carrying a hurt so long it’s started to shape the way you hold yourself.

Not A Tame Lion

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Feb 7, 2022

You’ve heard me say before that I love The Chronicles of Narnia, written by C.S. Lewis. We read them over and over again to our children as they were growing up.
