HEALING

You would think that doctors corner the market, but even they would tell you they don't. Healing is special. It doesn't allow itself to be fully understood. A "question mark" that people don't get to answer...just God.

Maybe that is why I put healing way down the list of wants. I knew I didn't have much control other than the usual: methods, med, meditations, (wine). But those things just don't cut through hurt. Pain, yes. Hurt, no.

I don't think I need to define hurt, because experience is the best teacher. Deceit. Disappointment. Derailment. Defeat. Divorce. Death. They all hurt and even make you sick, but what can you do about it? Is there healing for the hurt?

Yeah, there is.

There's healing. I've had it happen, not once, not twice, but LOTS. Maybe, that's because there isn't just one hurt in life. There are many. Like strangers that haven't met yet.

When hurt comes to visit, I wouldn't ask why. God has His reasons that are so deep and profound we probably wouldn't understand it at the time anyway. Second, immediately pray for Grace and forgiveness to pour like rain, flooding out any shame, guilt, anger, bitterness that clogs the mind. Last, be grateful. Hurt gives you so much more than it takes.

Bless.
