Only You!
Psalms 147: 3 says, “God heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds.”
Who does not want their broken heart healed and their wounds bound up? Who does not want relief from a broken heart? It is a blessed kind of freedom only God can provide? When life happens in the worst kind of way, and leaves my heart broken and leaves me bound up in my emotions and fears, I turn to my Bible and search the scriptures for comfort and hope.
I take in what I believe the scripture is giving me, at the exact moment that I need it. I think about the words on the pages, a lot. I see past them; I internalize them; I repeat them out loud and silently. I think about them until I understand what is taking place on the inside of me. I feel and understand the peace overtaking me. I began to feel a sense of calm and inner strength.
I emerge myself in the scripture because I want my broken heart to be put back together again. I want healing from the aching pain I feel in the pit of my stomach. I want wholeness again. I want freedom from sorrow. I realize my answer is established inside the scripture. I read and pray the scripture back to Him, the author of these comforting words.
I say to Him, "Father God, I know You will heal my broken heart and You will bind up my wounds. The sorrow I feel is real. The loss I feel is real, and my hurting heart is real. But I know You are my Healer and I trust You."
I also say, "When I feel all these things, I feel the strong presence of You- my Lord. I know Your presence is real. I know Your promises are real!
God loves each of us and He does heal our hurting broken hearts, but we have to let Him into our lives so healing can take place. At that moment, the feeling of peace and calm I receive lets me know everything is going to be fine. I realize that my life is meant for me to live in peace with a blessed freedom from the worries and cares of this world.
When I feel like I am going through the storms all by myself, I know that I have someone walking by my side during the turbulent times. I know that I am not alone during the times that I feel all alone, because I have You Lord- and only You!
