He Heals
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. Psalm 147:3, ESV
I had prayed to God but yet I could not figure out how to get rid of the pain I was feeling inside. I felt like because of the decisions that were made by my husband and the way he responded to me, my opinion was not valued. Satan will get into any of us at any time and prompt us to behave in a way that causes others pain. He is very good at making us feel justified in our decisions.
When I spoke to my husband about how I felt it was clear this situation was not going to change. I could not stop thinking about the situation. It got to the point where my heart and chest were hurting. I knew it was an attack by Satan but I could not seem to shake it. I went to God in prayer and just sobbed. I told Him I know this is an attack from Satan but I can't get rid of what I am feeling inside. I said God please take this, I am giving this to you, Jehovah Rapha my healer. Please help me not to pick this back up again. I don’t know how to let this go. The pain still sat in my heart.
God spoke to me in the gentlest voice when He said, “The person who hurt you cannot heal you.” He said that we always look to the person who hurt us to do something to make things better. But ultimately, they can’t heal our hearts. I sat for a long time meditating on those words. I began to pray for all of us who have been hurt by someone and for those we have hurt. In truth we can always apologize, but that does not heal the pain. God is the pain healer. It took several days before my husband came and apologized but God had already healed me. It was nice to get his apology but his words could never bring me the healing I needed.
God told me that all of us go through pain, hurt, brokenness - it's just part of the journey. But we need to always look to Him for healing. While God was walking me through this journey of healing in my heart, He showed me how we always want something from the person who hurt us but they can never give us what we truly need. And this is why God tells us to bring everything to him! Amen.
