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)
