30 Days of Thanksgiving... Day 8... Healing

Pastor Russ explained this morning that our heart is who we are.
And to some degree we are all broken. We all have wounded hearts.
Hearts that have been injured by abuse... lies... betrayal... divorce.
The list goes on.
But Jesus came to heal broken hearts... and broken people.

Some people seem to be more broken than others.
Maybe the abuse was more painful. The vessel more fragile.
The wound deeper.
But the lie is always the same... you are unloved and unlovable.

I have believed that lie. Lived that lie.
Allowed that lie to imprison my heart and almost destroy my life.

And then I met Jesus.
And the truth of His love began to replace the lie and my healing began.
You see, the truth is, I am... and you are... loved and lovable.
God loves us unconditionally and forever.
He loves us so much that He sent Jesus to rescue us... and He died doing it.
But we have to believe it. We have to receive it. We have to live it.
And we have to allow His love to set us free and restore our lives.



Healing is a journey but it's worth every step.
Today, with tears in my eyes, I give thanks to God
for sending Jesus to this earth to heal broken hearts...
mine... and yours.

Thank You Lord! Amen.
