He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds. – Psalm 147:3 (NLT)
HEALER OF THE BROKENHEARTED
A poem and essay by ILMA
Who has hurt you my child?
You need not run from me or hide?
I am your father who loves you so
Why do you keep listening to your foes?
I am your Lord, the healer of the brokenhearted
I will bandage your wounds and get you mended
I have come to rescue you and grant you salvation
Believe in me and you will get total renewal and restoration.
We were all made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27). God is love (1John 4:8). When someone does not walk in love, he or she is not fulfilling what God has designed them to be.
Let’s take the example of an artist’s life. He puts his heart, mind and soul to create a masterpiece. The canvas has no life on its own. It is at the painter who will decide what to put in it. He has total control of where he wants his work to go, what to put and what to subtract. He removes the undesirable areas of his work to turn it into a masterpiece.
God is the healer of the brokenhearted. He heals them and bandages their wounds. God transforms us so we can become the masterpieces he originally planned us to be.
PRAYER
Lord, mold me into your image.
REFLECTION
How has God dealt with your brokenness?
