Healing for the Wounded


Today's Reading:  Jeremiah 17:7-14
   
We have all been wounded, hurt, lied about, falsely accused, neglected, let down, taken advantage of, disappointed, abused and walked all over.  We, too, have treated others just as badly.  It has been said, "hurt people hurt people."  True healing and salvation is found only in the eternal, high, glorious Lord!  He is the fountain of living water.  When we trust in him and make him our hope and confidence, we will find the life and healing illustrated by the fruitful trees planted along a riverbank.  
 
Prayer:  Lord, our hearts are deceitful and desperately wicked.  Heal us and make us whole, as only you can. Forgive us as we have forgiven those who have wounded us.
