Healing

Normally I would be talking about COVID-19, but tonight I want to talk about healing. Sometimes we go through things in our life that causes us pain, but in the pain that we are feeling, there is healing for the pain. Pain comes in all forms. When we are hurting from pain, we want the pain to go away right then, and sometimes it does, but sometimes it doesn’t, we have to wait for the pain to subside, and that can take a long time. Healing does not start on the surface; it starts from within. It starts from within our heart and soul, but we have to condition our mind to receive the healing that we need to make the pain go away. We have to let go of past hurts in order to be completely healed, and that will give our mind a chance to heal from all of the bad memories that we hold there.

Healing is what is needed around this whole world. Look at everything that is going on now. War, COVID-19, death, sickness, and destruction everywhere; when will the healing start? When will the pain end? When will things go back to normal? Is this the new normal? Every time you turn on the television, there is something being said about someone being killed, or a storm has devastated neighbourhoods, fires destroying everything in its path, and there is just no end to it all. So many hearts have been hurt because of all of this. I know lives were spared, but it is the memories that were lost in it all that will take time to heal through it all. Starting over can be hard when you don’t have the means to do it. That is where faith comes in. God always makes a way where there seems to be no way. When we are least expected, He shows up and turns things around for the better. When that happens, all of the pain that we were feeling somehow melts away.

See, Jesus is the healer of our soul. Healing is in His hands. Healing is in His words that He speaks to us through the Spirit, and through the Word of God.

HEALING SCRIPTURES:

Psalm 147:3-The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gahtereth together the outcasts of Israel. He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.

Psalm 147:3- He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. Psalm 30:2. O Lord my God, I cried to you for help, and you have healed me. Psalm 41:3

Jeremiah 17:14-Heal me O LORD, and I will be healed; save me and I shall be saved, for you are my praise.

Isaiah 41:10-Fear thou not; for I am wit thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

James 5:14- “Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the mane of the Lord”.

So, we see where our healing comes from. Healing is a process; it comes with emotions that we have to get over so we can heal from the pain that is within us. It may not happen overnight, but it will happen. One day at a time we have the opportunity to do something that can take our mind off of the pain that we feel on the inside. When we do positive things, we do not think about what is making us hurt. It is better to be positive in the pain than to be negative in happiness, because pain is just for a short time, but happiness keeps the heart happy, and the soul filled with delight. Well, this is all I have for now. Thank you for following me on my journey with Food for the Soul. God bless, stay safe. ©2022
