Word of the Day: Have Courage, God Wants to Heal your Wounds!

If your heart is wounded and hurt, there is only one solution that will truly work.

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

- Psalm 147:3

The answer is in the verse above. Only God can resolve the sadness in your heart. Only He can heal all the hurts.

There's no use trying to heal your heart in any other way. God sees your pain, and He wants to heal your wounds! Call out to Him today!

Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed;
save me and I will be saved,
for you are the one I praise.

Jeremiah 17:14

When you cry out to God with all your heart, He hears you. God always answers the prayers of His children, whether by giving peace to the heart, granting patience to wait for His response, or providing instant healing. He always does something; we just have to trust and wait. In due time, you will see His movement in your life, and your faith will be strengthened.

1I waited patiently for the Lord;
he turned to me and heard my cry.
2 He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.

Psalm 40:1-2

Whatever pain you are suffering now or the wounds in your heart, bring it all before the Lord with faith and confidence. Persevere in prayer and trust in God's love for you. He will not only help you overcome it but also grow stronger in your journey with Him.

With the opposite spirit

Our natural tendency as human beings is to respond to evil with evil and to good with good. Jesus’ teachings completely break our patterns.

You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
- Matthew 5:43-45

It is not easy to love and pray for those who have harmed us or to seek the good of those we care about when they face difficulties. But it is in this challenging area of life that God calls His children to be different. God is glorified in our lives when we approach others with the opposite spirit. Where there is hatred, we bring love; where there is rejection or alienation, we offer acceptance and reconciliation.

Dare to be different for the glory of God. Love and pray for your enemies. You will feel better obeying God and will impact others by not being controlled by your emotions.

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
- Romans 12:14

Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
- Romans 12:17-18

Day Before Yesterday's Word

God Is Waiting for You to Come Back

God wants to forgive you! Perhaps you're feeling separated and far from God, because you've done something wrong and your conscience weighs heavily on you.

Sin builds walls between us and God. Do you want to break these walls down and return to God's arms? The reality is that He is eager to forgive you. Thanks to Jesus' blood the path to forgiveness has been made simple!.. repent and confess your sin to God.

“Come now, let us settle the matter,”
says the Lord.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool.
Isaiah 1:18

God is faithful and just. He will forgive you. Don't let pain or shame stop you from repenting. No matter how great your sin is, God is greater, and His love knows no bounds. His great love will cover your sins. He sent Jesus Christ to die for you on the cross; that's how immense His love for you is.

Don't reject God's love; don't delay in approaching Him to receive His forgiveness.

My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart
you, God, will not despise.
Psalm 51:17

Do you feel sorry for your sins? Tell God! He won't reject you; quite the opposite. The heavenly Father waits for you with open arms. He desires to receive you as His child. Give Him your whole being today.
