WOUNDED HEALERS

WOUNDED HEALERS

Although there are days and dilemmas that might cause you to feel isolated and alone, the Holy Spirit, The Paraclete, The One who walks alongside, is forever with you.  This life affirming truth is revealed to us by Jesus ChrisT, Himself: “I AM WITH YOU…ALWAYS.” (Matthew 28:20)

Oh how He loves you and me!  Never forget that it was Jesus’ boundless and unconditional LOVE that nailed Him to the cross, not the sharp spikes of any Roman executioner.

Isaiah 53:4-6 (NKJV)
Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.  But He was WOUNDED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.  All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, every one, to his own way; and the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.

Jesus died in our place.  He suffered, bled and died vicariously – for our sins.  He is The Wounded Healer.  And His wounds miraculously become our hope, our help, our health and our healing.  Hallelujah, what a Savior!

Now it is our time and opportunity to return His divine favor by becoming HEALING SEEDS, sown graciously by Him into the lives of others.  Herein lies the naked truth about us.  We are fallen and flawed.  We are broken vessels.  We have been shaped by sin and marred by iniquity.  Nevertheless, despite our inadequacies and imperfections, we remain in The Potter’s hands. (Psalm 51:5 and Jeremiah 18:1-6)

It has been rightly said that scarred hands heal best.  That’s me.  That’s you.  That’s good news because WE have been deputized as contemporary wounded healers – appointed and anointed by THE WOUNDED HEALER to serve the Kingdom of God and to win lost souls, who (in turn) will walk in their divine purpose and destiny and eventually draw others unto Him.

So you are more than what you look like!  Ultimately, YOU are a spiritual reproduction of The Risen Christ who resides “in you [as] the hope of glory.” (Colossians 1:27)

So…wounded healer…who have you touched with your new life in Christ?  And who will be touched and transformed…TODAY?

Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed, and please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING. Maranatha!
