God is in the business of healing



While searching for a picture for this post I was reminded again of the wealth of offers for emotional healing . There is help available from every philosophical point of view across the length and breadth of man's thinking. I am reminded again of the many emotionally broken people I know personally and I guess these offers reflect the state of mankind and our need and desire for healing.

I write often about brownness in people. It is to be expected that people are broken because we live in a broken and detached - sinful world where we have decided to rule ourselves in the rightful place of God. Every time  I read the news or hear some awful new happening I am reminded that we live in a world that has rejected God.  We have only ourselves to blame for the mess we are in. The brokenness of society and the twisted relationships we see playing out around us. The very real struggle to get along with each other is not only where it all ends. We ourselves are broken and for many of us our emotions are broken and damaged too.

We need healing and long for hope.

That is why the web is full of self help books and the book shops offer a wealth of information and ideas on how to heal on the inside. How to get emotional healing.

Jesus offers real hope and real healing for the wounded and broken hearted.   He is not just one amongst many but he is The One who can really change us inside and really help us move towards a healthier emotional reality.

It is Jesus who is able to provide for ALL our needs and indeed also our emotional needs. He loves us and cares for us beyond what we could ever imagine. He hears our prayers  of anguish
 and brings his answer an very real help at the right time. God's word helps us and teaches us to walk in his ways and trust him with our lives ; even our brokenness , because he knows us intimately and cares for us like a mother or a father with a child.

Healing for damaged emotions is a real longing for many and a real need. Jesus is willing and able to supply all our needs. So ask..... ask him and see what he has in store for you.
