Scars and Wounds

"For I will restore health to you, and heal you of your wounds', says the LORD, 'because they called you an outcast saying, 'This is Zion; no one else seeks her."  

                                                                               Jeremiah 30:17   NKJV 

When we have been through ongoing battles, we carry scars and wounds for a long time They heal with time but, we can be tempted to re-visit them occasionally. Don't do this! Once God has dealt with something, it is finished.

The scars and wounds we carry, are mostly the emotional type; we just can't believe that someone would hurt us so badly and, the pain goes deep. We can have sleepless nights as the video keeps playing back what we have been through; and we have psychological conversations with the one's who have been responsible for our hurt. Be careful here, because it can be so easy to judge the person. Remember, we have given it to God and He will repay, not us.

Yes, the person, may have hurt us, in fact, maimed may be more appropriate because they have attacked our minds. We may have felt be-littled, a person with no rights or authority, but hey, that doesn't matter, it's under the blood now, Jesus has fixed it. It is now recovery time.

When we are in recovery, it signifies that we are not yet, fully fit. There is a need for rest and recuperation. This doesn't mean that we stop the world and get off, taking some time off from life. It means we are still susceptible and we need to take slower steps. This may be where you are today. You've been through a war zone but God has rescued you. Now He wants to re-build you, so let Him.

One lesson that you have learned is, the faithfulness of God. It may not have seemed like it at times, but He was with you every step of the way. Now, He is still with you and His Word to you is, 'Be still and know that I AM God'  Psalm 46:10. The means, take your hands off the helm and relax; for a while, stop being a 'hands on' person. It is time-out for you while God builds you back up,
