“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”  Psalm 147:3 (NIV)

When we love someone, it is not hard to say kind words of encouragement and edification. When we love someone, it is not hard to say, ‘I love you,” and it is not uncommon to feel our hearts pounding their way out of our chest in excitement.

When we love others, we want what is best for them and we tell them that God is their healer, their provider and the One who can bring supernatural peace and healing into their lives.

Relationships can be hard to handle at times, because not all people are alike. To love means to nurture, to care for and to respect the other people in our lives as we wish to be treated. Some people do not know how to treat others with love and respect because they have not been treated that way by the people they loved.

Sure, life is not always all peaches and cream, and there are times when we have a hard time expressing our feelings, especially when we have been hurt and are trying to keep our hearts from re-breaking. Healing from heartbreak can take a while to take place. One must re-learn to trust and to feel comfortable around others, but first and foremost, to be comfortable with oneself.

But, hey, we do not have to rush into anything; it is okay to take it one step after the other, or even baby steps, if need be. It is okay to rehearse our words and make sure that the words we hear coming out of our mouths are honest, true, and edifying to ourselves first, so that whoever else ends up hearing them can also be built up by them.

Has life’s road been rough on you lately? Have you talked to your pillows late at night and shed on them the tears you’ve held inside during the day? Well, I have something to tell you, friend: God loves you!!! And He has good things for you up ahead. For starters, though, here is a little piece of advice: Look at yourself in the mirror and speak these words loud and clear, “Hello darling!!! You are loved! Remember that always!!”

 “Dear Lord, we surrender our troubles to You. Heal us, Abba.”

For His Glory
