The Power That Brings Healing
After we courageously admitted that our lives were unmanageable, we then came to believe that we needed a power greater than ourselves to restore us to sanity. People around us began to talk about this God who desired to care for us, and we were amazed that He would take time to notice us let alone care for us. In the past we avoided anything to do with God and only used His name in anger or to blaspheme anything or anyone who got in our way. But, even in our rebellion, God was looking down on us with loving kindness and tender mercy for He saw us as wandering sheep without a shepherd.
Jesus saw the many people and felt sorry for them because they were worried and helpless—like sheep without a shepherd to lead them. But I was the one who taught Ephraim to walk. I took the Israelites in my arms. I healed them, but they don’t know that. I led them with ropes, but they were ropes of love. I was like a person who set them free. I bent down and fed them. (Matthew 9:36; Hosea 11:3-4 ERV)
God will never overrule our will for He freely gave it to us when He made us in His image. God waits for us to come to Him and when we do, He shows us compassion and tender mercy. When we accept Jesus as our Saviour, we have all of heaven’s power to bring healing and restoration to our lives. In the past we have experienced turbulent times, but God will bring peace to our lives as we seek to know His will for us and the Holy Spirit will empower us to carry it out.
As we repent of our former ways, seek God, and commit to practicing His principles in all our affairs, God will forgive our sins and bring peace and healing to those places within us where trauma and pain may have taken up root.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, Thank You for remembering me even when I did not know You or Your ways. Today, I ask You to bring peace and healing to my body, mind and spirit. Amen
