About the Retreat.
Have you ever wondered why more
doesn't happen when you pray to a loving, infinitely powerful Jesus
who said, "Whatever you ask in my name, I will do for you" (Jn
14:13)? Although there are many explanations (e.g. we are praying
for the wrong thing), the most common reason is that our image of
God is not loving enough. I never was healed of my perfectionism
when I prayed for healing to a God who was saying “earn my love by
more perfectionism, "Be perfect as my heavenly Father is perfect."
We can only be healed to the degree that our image of God is
healed. To the degree that our image of God is distorted we are
praying to our own false God and not letting the real, loving God
touch us. But our image of a loving God gets distorted daily as we
see bad things happen to good people, get hurt ourselves, get stuck
in sin and compulsions, find ourselves disappointed with the church
and feel more shamed than loved when we hear the scriptures
preached. This retreat will help us discover where our image of God
is distorted and begin the lifetime process of healing it so God can
finally be God for us.Where is Trinity
Center?
