Where are you in your journey to healing and restoration?
- Maybe you are on the other side of it all and can give a testimony of what God has done for you.
- Maybe you’re in the process of watching God do something for you.
- Or maybe you’re going through something and think you just have to live with it.
Jesus gave His life for you so you can have eternal life AND so you can have abundant life now, here in this life. You don’t have to just make it through each day and continue living as a broken Christian.
His plans for you are truly amazing. And you don’t want to miss anything God has in store because you didn’t finish the healing process He is leading you through.
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds [healing their pain and comforting their sorrow]. — Psalm 147:3 (AMP)
Be determined to believe and trust God’s Word more than your feelings, circumstances, or what others have said to you or about you. The truth is, God loves you, and He cares about every detail of your life. He wants to help you and make you everything He has created you to be!
Joyce shares this about her personal experience: “I lived as a broken Christian for a long, long time. It’s bad to be a pitiful sinner, but it’s really bad to be a pitiful saint because we are God’s ambassadors to the world—He’s making an appeal to the world through us.”
2 Corinthians 5:20 confirms it:
Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us… — 2 Corinthians 5:20 (ESV)
Write about your story and describe the pain you’ve experienced in your soul. Pray and ask God to help you take one step at a time…one day at a time…so you can continue your journey to total healing and restoration.
Take some time to dream. Write about the life you really long to have or draw a picture of what you envision your healed-and-whole life will look like. Don’t be shy or hold back. With God, all things are possible!
