The healing power of the Holy Spirit
Outpouring of tea,
tolerance at Soup’s On
On Monday, June 13, at
6:30 p.m., everyone is invited
to join a group from varied
spiritual paths to discuss “tol-
eration” while sharing cups of
tea and coffee, instead of the
usual soup.
Tolerance is the practice of
deliberately allowing or per-
mitting a thing of which one
disapproves. Among the basic
human rights, the right to fol-
low one’s conscience in mat-
ters of religion and belief is
undoubtedly one of the most
cherished — so much so that
people have been willing to
endure the severest trials and
even to lay down their lives
rather than to surrender this
fundamental right.
The main goal of the
Baha’i Faith is the peaceful
unification of the entire
human race.
The gathering will end at 8
p.m. with prayers for the
requests left in the Prayer
Pole in the garden of the
Florence Playhouse and those
shared by the group.
The Heintz home is located
at 875 Seventh St.

It’s wonderful to know that, as
believers in Christ, we can live in
close fellowship with God. Jesus
said in John 16:7 (AMP), “I tell
you the truth, it is to your advan-
tage that I go away; for if I do not
go away, the Helper will not
come to you; but if I go, I will
send Him (the Holy Spirit) to
you.”
When Jesus walked the earth,
He could be in one place at a time
and He could be with the disci-
ples. But the Holy Spirit can be
everywhere, all the time, and He
lives in those who have accepted
Christ as their Savior. Being with
Jesus is good, but having the
Holy Spirit in us is even better.
We don’t have to go looking for
God because He’s as close as
close can get.
See, when we receive Christ
and we’re born again, it literally
means that God — through the
power of the Holy Spirit —
comes to live inside us. He makes
us new on the inside, and as He
works in us, the fruit of what He’s
doing is seen in the way we live
and does some good for the peo-
ple in the world around us. (See 2
Corinthians 5:17, 21; John 14:17,
26; Acts 1:8; Galatians 5:22-23.)
John 16:7 tells us who the
Holy Spirit is: Helper, Comforter,
Advocate, Intercessor, Counselor,
Strengthener and Standby. John
14:26 (AMP) says “He will teach
you all things.”
The Holy Spirit is the teacher
and He guides us into all truth.
Think of this in the standpoint
of recovering from things in the
past that have hurt you. Many
people come to God because their
life is messed up and they don’t
know what to do to fix it. They’ve
tried everything they know to do
and nothing is working. So final-
ly, in their desperation, they ask
for His help.
Thankfully, God wants to help
us and heal us — spirit, soul and
body. He wants to bring restora-
tion to us so we won’t live in a
state of recovery forever. He
wants us to be whole in Christ so
we can help someone else.
We need the Holy Spirit to lead
us to truth one step at a time, and
we need His strength to confront
things that are hard to face so we
can get victory over them.

UU to discuss search
for truth, meaning in life
On Sunday, June 12, from
10 to 11 a.m., at the Unitarian
Universalist Fellowship, the
Rev. Ruth Miller will lead the
worship service titled “The
Free and Responsible Search
for Truth and Meaning.”
“To be human is to seek
meaning — not to impose on
others, but to explore and dis-
cover for ourselves, while
allowing others to do the
same,” said Miller, who will
demonstrate how finding life’s
purpose depends on how one
applies
this
Unitarian
Universalist principle in one’s
personal life and communities.
Miller will also be doing a
seminar today, June 11,
from 2 to 4:30 p.m. at the
fellowship, titled “Spiritual
Science: Making it Perm-
anent.”
The UU Fellowship, at
87738 Highway 101, is wheel-
chair accessible.

healed of them. Because anything
you run from has a certain
amount of power over you, and
until you face it, every time it
raises its ugly head, you have to
run some more.
Thank God, you don’t have to
do it alone.
As I began my journey to
wholeness in Christ, I had to face
some painful things I had been
avoiding and at times, running
from. I had to face the fact that
my parents didn’t know how to
love me, that I had been abused,
that there was a lot of pain in my
life because of it all, that my dys-
functional behavior was rooted in
the mistreatment I had experi-
enced and I couldn’t blame it on
the people in my life now. I had to
take responsibility for my wrong
attitudes, mind-sets and behavior,
and lean on God for the wisdom
and strength to change.
Recovery and restoration of
our souls takes time. One step at a
time the Holy Spirit guides us
into truth that sets us free.
want to encourage you today
to trust God’s love for you and
that He wants to help you and
heal you. The truth is, you can’t
heal yourself, but you can be
completely healed and whole in
Christ, because all things are pos-
sible with God.

In my journey with Christ,
He’s brought so much healing
and restoration to my soul — my
mind, will and emotions. My
father sexually abused me
throughout my childhood. When I
left home at 18, I thought, “That’s
over. I’m putting that problem
behind me.” But I took the prob-
lem with me because the wounds
of the abuse were still in my soul.
The pain of my past affected
my thinking, how I operated emo-
tionally, all of my relationships
and even my will. I was rebel-
lious and stubborn and promised
myself no one would ever hurt
me or push me around again.
I was born again at this time
but didn’t know that I could have
the power of the Holy Spirit
working in my life. It was years
later, after I started seriously
studying the Word of God, that I
realized the Holy Spirit could
heal me.
It’s so important to understand
that we cannot do this on our
own, but as we lean on the Holy
Spirit for the strength to face our
problems, we can overcome
them.
If you have hurts from abuse,
disappointments, an injustice or
any other kind of mistreatment,
you will have to face them with
the help of the Holy Spirit to be
