A Wound to Heal: Blog Post 50

A Wound to Heal

Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Proverbs 4:23 (NIV)

Life can be tough sometimes and full of unexpected disappointments. We live in a society where many people lose their drive to live and passion to move forward. 

I was talking to a friend who was going through. She had just gotten out of a broken relationship and she was telling me about how broken her heart was like someone had just stabbed her in it. The unexpected deceit was causing her to break, but she knew she had to be strong for her children.  

I hear these stories so often of broken men and women.

Well, how do you heal the wounds and scars of a broken heart? 

Many try to find their own remedies by covering it up with drugs, new broken relationships, revenge, or other temporary fixes. You CAN'T cover up a wound with dirt and expect it to be healed. 

I begin to think of the things we do when other parts of our bodies are scarred, broken, and wounded.

       1)  We go to the doctor. 

      

     The doctor is the specialist who knows how to treat things with specialty. He has the authority to prescribe the medication we need or perform the procedures to start the healing process. So when your heart needs healing then contact Doctor Jesus. His prescription of love is written in his word. He is your source of healing and provider. So take your issues, problems, and lay them at his feet. He will clean your broken wound and start the healing process.

      2)   Keep the wound clean. 

      

    We must care for it by keeping it away from negative sources whether it is negative people, self-doubt, and unnecessary stress. Those are what I call bad germs. We may be surrounded by them, but to keep the wound covered until it properly heals is the best thing.

     3)  It takes time. 

        

    Last, it takes time for any wound to heal. Some may take longer than others depending on how deep the cut or if the bone is broken. With proper care, it will heal. It is just like if you have a broken foot or arm. If you try to do too much prematurely then the results can be even more detrimental and extend the time of the healing process. Allow time for your heart to heal.

Your heart is precious so guard it. So to that lost brother or sister who feels like their heart will never feel whole again, don’t give up. Give your heart time and continue to live. Your purpose is awaiting you and boy does it look great!
