Psalms Chapter 143
Healing + Forgiveness = Freedom.
Once again we have David in utter despair crying out to God. But this time, with his arms stretched out, he says to the Lord, “I meditate on all your works, God, and consider what your hands have done in the past… Therefore, I trust you.”
Know this fact, trials and tribulations are part of life. But God promises to be with us through them all.
What have you gone through in the past? Do you have hurts of pain and abuse? Rather than assume you were all alone, go back and see Jesus going through the pain with you. Jesus wants to bring healing to all your past hurts, pain, and abuse. Rather than blame God and push him away, spread your arms out to Jesus as David did and welcome Jesus to bring you healing and help you forgive those who have hurt you. Jesus understands our pain. He too was abused and even forgave those who persecuted him. Let him do that for you. Let him bring healing to your souls and empower you to forgive those who have hurt you. Then, and only then, can you experience true freedom from your past and walk in newness with new power and healing.
