What does it take to show up in the inner chapel with honesty? Becky Eldredge, author of Encounter Grace, grounds her answer in the story of the Woman with a Hemorrhage (Mark 5:25–34). We first need to name the real and be honest with ourselves. Then, just as the woman told Jesus “the whole truth,” we can tell Jesus the whole truth. He will meet us and heal us in the way God longs to heal us.

Thanks Becky. Truth heals. “For me, Truth is God” – was often said by Mahatma Gandhi.
Thank you Becky,
After listening to your message I have for the first time acknowledged something to myself and before God. For a long time I’ve done a good job of pushing it out of my mind and not facing up to it. this evening it just surfaced and I was able to acknowledge it and leave it in God’s hands for Him to heal me in His own way which is the best way.
Excellent! This spoke to me exactly where I find myself at the moment. Thank you Becky.
