GOD HEALS BROKEN LIVES
There are so many hurting people, not only poor people who are struggling, but those who are affluent. Many of their lives are broken and crushed too. Their marriages are tearing apart. And again, some of these are in the church, and sometimes even in leadership.
And yet God is waiting to heal. He is the healer of broken lives. When Jesus went into the synagogue at Nazareth, He picked up the scroll and read from Isaiah: "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he that anointed me . . . to heal the brokenhearted" (Isaiah 61:1-3 and Luke 4:16-19). The word "brokenhearted" is talking about those whose lives are shattered and broken to shivers.
You may be feeling utterly crushed. Your life is broken in little bits and you can't imagine how to get it back together again. Dear hurting one, God waits to heal and restore you. Lay your life before Him and let Him come in with His light, His love, His healing balm, and His restoring anointing. He will do it, little by little, if you let Him. Allow His living Word to heal you (Psalm 107:20). Your circumstances may not change right away, but God will heal your soul.
You cannot cope with life unless your soul is whole. Let Him come in and flood your life. His love will enable you to forgive, to let go of hurt and bitterness, and to be healed and restored. Take hold of the truth in Psalm 23:3. “Thank you, dear Father, that You restore my soul.”
He is the only true restorer of the soul.
Be blessed today,
