When my beautiful friend messaged me about writing this month- she had no clue (I’m pretty sure) that the date was for what would have been my sweet mommas birthday. I was like wow – couldn’t have asked for a better time to be able to share with others like Momma did.

I began to pray and seek God for His message, and well, nothing was coming through. No confirmation, No billboard signs, nothin lol. Until – in true God fashion, just days before. He brought forth a song that I heard literally several times a day, everyday, during my Mom’s last days and hours with us. And to be honest, I couldn’t tell you the last time I heard it, until well NOW.

“The Hurt and The Healer” by Mercy Me (mannn you need to pull it up by the way).

“….when the hurt and the Healer collide”.

Guys, we are literally surrounded by suffering. Wounded, physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually- life altering hurts, grieving loss, BROKEN… just. So. Much. And although the enemy loves to hijack our thoughts, and tries to drown out hope- we have a true LIVING HEALER, and the victory is already His!

He does not leave us to be broken and beat down- EVER.

“He heals the broken-hearted and binds up their wounds.” Psalm 147:3 – I love love when God shows me His cool ways through some scripture chasing …

“He heals” – healing : the PROCESS (a series of ACTIONS or steps taken in order to achieve a particular end!) of making or becoming sound or healthy AGAIN- (once more ♥️)

“…. Binds up their wounds “

Binds: to wrap, bandage, tighten

Wounds : an injury to living tissue, caused by a cut, BLOW, or other IMPACT….. broken.

Wow …. Think about the wounds you have sustained over time, or that you are in the middle of right now. The brokenness, sickness, heartache. Whatever it is, God’s Word tells us “He Heals”. It doesn’t say it’s fast, or without hurt, or a magic potion, or even the same “process” for everyone. But, it does say He Heals. Funny how God created our physical bodies to heal through a very similar process.

Check out the process Our Creator in all His magnificent glory created our body (made in His image) to achieve healing –

* stop the bleed

* Inflammation (gonna be a little swollen and banged up friends)

* GROWTH & REBUILDING

* STRENGTHENING (can I get a hallelujah!)

“The God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm, & steadfast.” 1 Peter 5:10

You see my friend, Healing is to come. It may not look like we expect, or when we want, and the process may be refining through the fire – but His healing is like no other. It comes with peace, and hope, and unconditional- unfailing love, from the one and only Perfect GOD.

“….. It’s the moment when humanity is overcome by majesty. When grace is ushered in for good and all our scars are understood. When mercy takes its rightful place, and all the questions fade away. When out of weakness we must bow – and hear you say it’s over now-

I’m alive . Even though a part of me has died. You take my heart and breathe it back to life, I’ll fall into your arms open wide — when the hurt and the Healer collide.” (Mercy Me)

Rather your hurt is physical, emotional, seasonal, daily, or moment to moment- trust the “process”- TRUST His process. This to shall pass. It might pass like a kidney stone 🥴, but…. It will pass. Because HE does not and will not fail you – or break His Word – ever.
