PSALMS 147:3 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.

People suffer all sorts of heart-breaking things in this life. Some never get over the pain and suffering, they keep the wounds fresh. If a wound is picked at, a scar never develops, and it never heals. Until the invention of the adhesive bandage people would wrap the affected part of the body with strips of cloth. This was called binding a wound.

God knows our heartaches and our wounds that run deep to our core. He is the only one who can reach down and pour his medicine on those wounds.  Love is his ointment to help us heal.  He has a way of restoring our hearts to a state before it was broken. In other words, he takes all our broken pieces and restores them to something that can be used for his glory.

It would be like breaking a mug and then gluing it back together.  It is whole again and ready to be used for a purpose. Many times, the purpose is different than before, but it is still just as useful. Now maybe it is used to hold ink pens or paintbrushes.

Once we have walked through a few hurtful things our purpose changes. We all become carriers of God’s light and love.  We do not want anyone else to suffer as we did, so we allow ourselves to be a guide. Why would we be allowed to keep the scars?  He allows us to keep the scars, to show we have walked through trials. We can use these scars and broken places to bring help and restoration to others.  We are not flawless, we all have made mistakes and sinned. It is in our weakness that he shines a light of strength.  When that light shines through us it is a beautiful thing for others to see. Allow him to bind up your wounds and heal your heartaches. He is our great physician.

Our souls are broken, Jesus took pain and suffering on himself so that we could have eternal life. His love is truly a miracle.

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
