God Heals Life's Hurts

God is our healer. He delights in healing us spiritually, emotionally and physically. The pain of past hurts can rule our lives. It simmers, it stifles and sometimes it shuts us down completely. Understanding scriptural principles brings comfort and hope, but it does not necessarily bring healing. Forgiveness releases us from bitterness and from the bondage of negative ties to others, but it does not necessarily heal hurts. Jesus heals hurts. In a sense, His healing is a divine exchange, in which, we offer to Him our hurt and He offers to us His healing.

"He heals the broken-hearted and binds up their wounds."
Psalm 147:3
