Healing

Verse of the Day:
Hebrews 12:12-13


Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of place, but rather healed. 


I have this friend who broke his arm a few years back playing football. He got a cast for it and it started to heal, but then he was acting dumb around his friends and ended up hurting his arm even MORE. Then he had to stay in a cast for an even longer period of time, prohibiting him from playing the sports he loves. If he would have been patient and taken the right care of his arm, everything would have healed and he would have been back playing sports in a matter of weeks.

Relating this to God. (Man, that line never gets old) Sometimes we may have problems in our relationship with God. We may not be as strong as we could. Sometimes, we're completely broken inside, and instead of trying to fix it, we mess up even more. God wants us to recognize when we are broken and to take the right steps to get better. If we make sure steps to get better and to fix our relationship with God, we will be healed. The best part about it is that God WANTS us to get better and he WANTS to help us. Cool.

The Simple Truth: In order to be healed, we gotta fix what's wrong, not make it worse.

Pray:

Lord, when I am broken inside, help me to turn to you and not to something else that will make my problems worse. Help me become strong and have a wonderful relationship with you.

Let your light shine.
-Lo
