Psalms 147:3

Psalm 147:3 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.

My personal journey for healing of my brokenness has lead me down many paths. The destructive paths have left deposits in my mind that are haunting at times. When life gets tough I often think of my past mistakes long before I recall the forgiveness and newness of life. The situations often change but the need for a fresh experience with the Lord is always the answer to the pain. A revelation of who God is and strength that comes from Him is needed for my heart to rest. Due to the other things that I have used to sooth the pain, be it temporary, I have continually been distracted from the one that loves me most. Often times the distractions are subtle and numerous at the same time. It is the common, every day distractions that get me most of the time i.e.. TV, Work, poor time management, etc.

I know that God will defend and heal the brokenness in my heart but I have to allow Him to do it. I know when I spend time with Him, everything is great. I am confident, assured, affirmed, and at rest when I spend time reading His word, praying, worshiping, and listening to the truths that He speaks over my life.

As the seasons of my life change, I long for the strengthening of my spirit. The desire to feed on the promises from an unfailing God well up inside of me. The seemingly quenchless thirst will only end when drinking from the well that is fed from the river of life.

May we drink deeply.
