How God Heals Our Inner Wounds

how God heals our inner woundsHow God Heals Our Inner Wounds

There were times when I wondered why God hasn’t provided for me more. It is true that He has never left me in lack, but I saw people who were far better blessed and comfortable. Why couldn’t He bless me in the same way? Doesn’t He love me, too?

If it is true that such times of ‘waiting’ in my life (times of searching for a new direction or purpose when nothing seems to be happening)  is for my own rest and recuperation so I can prepare for my next mission, why couldn’t I have a better rest? That kind of pause where I need not worry about income and where I need not experience the problems I have been experiencing.

One evening however, as I was praying the rosary, I’ve realized that God has done this because He was healing my wounds. And before such wounds could be healed, they must first be exposed. Problems, discomfort and darkness expose our wounds. If I had been given a more comfortable life outright, I might not even have known I’ve had them!

And then suddenly, I remember my prayer to God… that He may heal me and make me feel how much I am truly loved.

Are you searching for hope? Download the e-book today - "Where Hope Can Be Found". The thing about hope is that it’s a positive force that shines the most when it’s dark. When everything’s going well, we hardly notice it’s there. But when things go against us, when our dreams fade and when we see no immediate reprieve from our troubles, that’s when hope does its best work for us.

It does seem like forever. I used to pray Psalm 13…everything is in there. When I pray, all those hurts emerge and God transforms them into joy. It could be very purifying…
