Time Alone Doesn't Heal

People often say that time heals all wounds. In my personal experience and what I have seen in others, time makes a difference but doesn't heal the pain and disappointments of life on its own.

God's Word teaches us that He is the Healer of our heart wounds:

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
Psalm 147:3 NIV
Heart wounds come from being disapointed, let down, living in difficult situations and even our own failures or personal weaknesses. Like splinters that cause infection over time, God wants to pull out anything lodged in our minds, souls and spirits so that healing and wholeness can take place.

Beginning next Wednesday, July 1st, we will start an 8 week book discussion group on this blog http://woundedheart4thgen.blogspot.com/. We will cover 2 chapters a week which will cover most of the summer. I will make 2 - 3 posts a week and welcome your comments.

I am driven to get this message out to people. Many people are hurting. Others are doing well but going through life with some things that God wants to help them work through, overcome, or just leave behind.

God heals the brokenhearted. When it says that He "binds up their wounds" it means that He wraps them up, protects them, He "puts them in a cast" so they can heal. Bones take 4-8 weeks to heal. I pray that hearts will be healed in the weeks to come on this journey.

When I speak to people who have read this book they all say something like: "I am going to give a copy of this to.." or "I know someone that really needs this book". Please help me get the word out to others. God is the Healer but He works through regular people like you and me. Please let people know about the book, the blog and discussion group.

God also works through us to help others, as He is healing us. Trust me - I know.

If you still need to get your personal copy, you can go to my website: www.4thgen.org or from Amazon or other online book stores. Book stores and churches can also get volume discounts by calling the publisher direct at: 866-381-2665 Ext. 1173.

Let's take this journey together beginning nex Wednesday!

In this together - Jack
