I have had my injuries; and, as I mature, some are more prevalent and noticeable than others. There are days when my arthritic hips and knees are unnoticeable; there are others when there is nothing I can do to hide them. Yet, I really have no complaints. I have been so blessed.
However, we all start thinking about our own hurts and scars from time to time. I guess that is human nature. There are so many others that suffer far greater and have overcome far more than I ever have, and that I hope I ever will. I see the resolve, the drive, in some people and wonder where it comes from. I see them fight back and overcome great obstacles and am amazed at their resiliency and tenaciousness.
Today's word is Jeremiah 30:17a, NIV, which reads, "But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds, declares the LORD..."
Those that I know that have overcome great adversity have had great resolve; they have also had great faith. They knew without a doubt that they were not going through it alone. They knew without a doubt that if they persevered and did their very best that GOD would bring them through. They also knew that whatever the outcome, they were held in GOD'S hand and they would resolve to praise Him - regardless.
If you've been hurt: physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, why not turn to the only One that can provide complete healing? Yes, it hurts. Yes, it was undeserved. Yes, the outcome may not be everything you desire. BUT, He alone can restore; He alone can heal; He alone can make it right again.
Be Blessed,
