Say the Word and I Shall Be Healed


Life is broken. Relationships tarnish and rust. Words and actions cut into the spirit deeper than any knife. Our failures surmount - sorrows surround. What will reverse the course of this destruction? Who would we call to rescue and resuscitate? Not I, for I am a victim of this doomed vessel also. The writer of the Psalms speaks words of encouragement assuring us of God's stance toward us. He desires to rescue, and eternally bless us.

"He heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds." (Psalm 147 : 3)

He indeed offers healing and hope. Regardless of the presence of any temporal healing, he offers and assures that He has procured the healing salve of His grace and mercy for our eternal healing and life. His word of forgiveness speaks life and salvation.

O Holy One visit and heal us for Thy Name's sake. Amen.

Blessings+
Father Daniel
