He heals the broken-hearted

Hello everyone!

I hope you had a blessed weekend. Today’s post will kind of piggyback off of my last one about waiting on the Lord. I want to talk about having a broken heart while waiting on Him.

It’s often difficult to be patient and wait and it is especially difficult when you’re hurting at the same time. We know that the Lord has our best interests at heart, we know He has a better plan for us than we could every imagine

, we know He loves unconditionally; we know these things and yet we often struggle with the truth of them because sometimes, just knowing them has to be enough for us because we may not know anything else. And, we cannot just know them, we have to BELIEVE them; facts are not enough to help us heal, we have to have FAITH and a lot of times, that HAS to be enough for us. Fully relying on God, knowing that He is the only One in control can be scary. We don’t like not being in control. We don’t like not knowing the outcome of the future. This is especially true with wounds and scars. This is because we instinctively want to put up walls when we’re hurt. We want to curl up in a ball like an armadillo and hide. We want to cry in the dark and brick ourselves up in a tall tower. However, in order to heal and wait for God’s best, we need to allow ourselves to be vulnerable before Him. The thing is, He knows everything about us but we still need to be able to admit our struggles, hurts, and sins to Him. We have to let Him into our hearts in order to move foward.

I wish I had realized this sooner; it certainly would have made a difference in my healing processes in the past. But, we live and learn and I’m so blessed to be learning and practicing it now. It’s a journey and we arent’ perfect but the beautiful thing is that God knows that about us and still pursues us and wants to heal our hearts. So, no matter if the wounds are old or fresh, the Lord can and will heal us, bless us, and give us His best for us when we let Him lead the way. He is the Light in our darkness and He will never fail us.

Love and Blessings,
