Wholeness & Inner Healing
Lin believes the key to living in rest is listening to the Father’s heartbeat and living in the ‘unforced rhythms of grace’. Yet we can experience ‘rest robbers’, anxious thoughts telling us we are unforgiven/ineligible, our past wounds imprisoning us in a slave/orphan mentality. To rest is to trust in God’s continuing message of love.
