Picking Up The Pieces

He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds.  Psalm 147:3

With two young men, ages 15 and 12, both play hard, both are athletic and are somewhat accident prone which tends to lead to the usual scrapes and bruises that come from being boys. Of course our teenager has graduated to the urgent care center a few times over the past few years, but I digress. 

There aren't too many minor injuries that cannot be healed by a Band-Aid and an ice pack or a laugh, but just thinking about the way we as parents tend to our children’s wounds is very similar to the way that God tends to ours as well.

God actually tends to our physical wounds and pains just as He heals our emotional wounds too.  There is no sickness, injury, or pain that the Great Physician cannot heal.

When God performs His healing in our lives, we find joy and others will rejoice in our healing.

Thanks be to God!!
