We have all been wounded. Wounds
that healed quickly, wounds that cut deep, wounds that have scarred us and
wounds that remain tender. To live life means that we have and will have
wounds.
We have the choice whether to continue as walking wounded or allow God to
transform us into wounded healers.
It is true that hurt people hurt people. I believe it is also true that hurt
people can heal people. Hurt people seems redundant to me … we all get hurt. We
have a choice whether we allow the hurt to continue to hurt us or allow God to
heal us. We may not fully heal in this life, but we can get as close to full
healing as possible.
What wounds are still open in your life? How will you allow God to comfort,
transform and heal you? How will God use you as a wounded healer to help others
heal from their hurts?
**Sit again for as long as is available to you.**
Have more than two minutes? Read
and meditate on 2 Corinthians 1:3-5
