Nouwen Meditation: Cure Without Care

In this week's episode of Henri Nouwen, Now & Then, we feature best-selling author and sought after speaker Lisa Harper. Described as "one of the best Bible tour guides around," Lisa combines wit with deep theological wisdom, and shares how the writings of Henri Nouwen have impacted her life.

Cure Without Care
Our tendency is to run away from the painful realities or to try to change them as soon as possible. But cure without care makes us into rulers, controllers, manipulators, and prevents a real community from taking shape. Cure without care makes us preoccupied with quick changes, impatient and unwilling to share each other’s burden. And so cure can often become offending instead of liberating.
"Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life."

PROVERBS 13:12 (NIV)
