I absolutely love and live for my
monthly massages and they really are a big help! Getting the knots
in my back and shoulders removed is a big relief. A months worth of
stress and tension just melts away and it feels amazing.
In our spiritual lives do we get knots
as well? I think we can, issues in our relationship with God that
are just difficult to understand and as a result we can have
spiritual stress about them. Paul spoke about a thorn in the side,
but God never removed that thorn, He simply gave Paul to grace and
strength to endure.
When we battle with issues of
persistent health problems, difficult work circumstances, trouble in
our relationships and even financial stress, these all put stress on
our relationship with God because we wonder how a loving God could
allow these things.
The work of the Holy Spirit is to
comfort us and to relieve our stress by reminding us that we are not
alone. Firstly we are not alone in our human experiences and
secondly we are not alone because God is walking our path with us.
When we receive that type of comfort it helps us to deal with our
daily spiritual stresses and relieves our burdens.
