Healing from emotional and physical wounds doesn’t mean forgetting. It means, more than anything, getting to the point where they don’t control your life. Though moving forward is a meticulous process of transformation, with God’s strength, guidance, and comfort you can find a new lease on life. However, you must understand that after the healing transformation process, you won’t be the same person anymore.
Healing doesn’t mean going back in time, it means rebuilding and giving shape to something new, something stronger and more valuable. We all have wounds that need attention. We live in a world full of different types of violence. Some are more explicit and others hidden and silent. Things like sexism, discrimination, bullying, physically intimidating or intimidation in social media, family dysfunction, or even cultural messages about beauty and success can all leave their mark in areas that are not openly visible.
The good news is God doesn’t abandon us with our wounds and scars, He steps in and heal our brokenness. Psalm 147:3 reminds us that, “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”
God is reminding us that His power is unlimited. He is mighty enough to heal all wounds no matter when or how they occurred in our lives. Our pain is not beyond His tremendous power. He is the Great Physician, able to reach into our pasts and heal our souls.
The scripture says, “He heals,” meaning this healing is ongoing. It is not a one-time deal but rather a supernatural act that can occur over and over in the lives of the brokenhearted. For as much and as long as we need healing, God’s compassionate care is available to us.
The Hebrew meaning for the word “brokenhearted” is defined in relation to the inner person, encompassing the mind, will and emotions. Thus, the psalmist reminds us that God is capable of healing all types of wounds.
If our wounds are physical, He can heal them. If our wounds are mental, He can heal them.
If our wounds are emotional, He can heal those, too.
God not only heals our souls from brokenness; He also binds up our wounds. He takes the time to tenderly bandage the wounded places in our lives so we can be made whole. This level of tender care communicates several truths about God:
💔God cares about those with broken hearts.
♾️God’s power to heal is infinite.
♥️God loves His children deeply.
❤️🩹God is capable of healing all wounds.
My brothers and sisters, healing doesn’t mean the damage or wound never existed. It means that injury or scar no longer control your life. I am so grateful that God doesn’t abandon us with our wounds. God immediately steps into our lives, heals our broken hearts and binds up every wound.
