The Wound Healer

​"He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds."
​--Psalm 147:3(KJV)
Have you ever been hurt by someone and looked to them to "undo" the heart that he/she may have caused?  Did you employ techniques (sulking, crying, the silent treatment, avoidance, ignoring, withholding, etc.) that you hoped would display that you were hurt and wanted that person to know it?  Perhaps you resorted to more overt techniques like yelling, being vindictive, bullying, intimidation, or picking fights and causing arguments?  If so, may I ask you, how have these tactics been working for you?   Not so well?  Well, there's good reason for that.  Interested?

​Broken hearts and soul wounds are real.  We cannot ignore them or minimize them if we want to live the abundant life that God has offered each of us.  So, grappling with the truth of our hurt and doing the hard work to be well in our souls and to enjoy healthy, mutually satisfying relationships is required.  However, when we place the onus on another person to heal our wounds we are setting ourselves up for repeated and cyclical disappointment.  Not to mention the unrealistic demands and impossible weight we put on another person. The truth is, it is not the responsibility of another human being to heal the wounds of our soul.  Period.  The healing of our soul wounds and broken hearts is divine.  God alone is The Healer.  ​Further, as our Creator, he knows each of us intimately.  He knows just what we need so that we may experience health, wellness, and wholeness on a soul level.

​If this is resonating with you, may I encourage you to bring the wounds of your soul to the Father.  Give him the broken pieces of your heart.  He has good things for you.  He wants you to live a life of joy, peace, and satisfaction.  He promises to heal the broken in heart and bandage every wound of the soul.  Trust in the truth of his word.
