Wounded but healed
By Lisa Buffaloe
Friends, family, and acquaintances share their stories and prayer requests. Illness, disasters, and the cruelty of what man does to man sends chills down my spine. My heart aches as though it will burst from my chest for the pain others must endure. I don’t have the answers, and in my humanity I can’t fully understand.
But I do know God cares. I know He has the answers and solutions. I know He hears our cries. I know justice will be served. I’m living proof of God’s goodness—His sufficiency to endure, conquer, and live a full, joyous life through Him. I’m not alone. There are so many others who have been wounded terribly by life and now stand firm and safe in the love and protection of their Savior.
God takes the broken places and makes them whole. He heals, sustains, helps, and saves. His goodness, mercy, grace, justice, and tender love are waiting. No matter what you are going through, God is with you, will help you, and bring you safely home.
“My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation. He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior—from violent men you save me. Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever” (2 Samuel 22:3, Psalm 54:4, Psalm 73:26).
