"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might." Epsians 6:10
One day, one of my sons had fallen on a piece of glass. The piece of glass slashed a cut into him that was pretty deep. My boy was little then, and I was much younger. I picked him up with much urgency in order to get him to an emergency room so a doctor could make him better. When we reached the emergency room, the doctor started treating the slash. The first thing they did was to cleanse the area to fight off any infection. The next thing the doctors did was to bind up the wound with a few stitches. This held the skin together as to let the two sidesto heal and grow back together. And last, the doctor put a bandage on the wound. This kept any other infection out and allowed the wound to heal without any outside interference.
God does the same for us when we allow Him(Psalm 147:3). The eighth ability of Jesus that we should focus on is His ability to heal the brokenhearted.That is one of the reasons why He came (Luke 4:18). We must take our burdens to Him (Matthew 11:28) and lay them at His feet. He will treat us like the doctor treated my son(Matthew 2:17). But remember that sometimes the treatment can be as painful as the ailment, but in the end we will be on the road to recovery. The healing process takes time, but He will heal us. Even in the end, when we are fully recovered there still may be a scar. May we not only take all our burdens to the One that heals, but may we allow all our scars be a witness and to glorify His greatness.
