Pain, pain, and more pain

Tears still come to my eyes when I think about it.

It has been years since my husband and I experienced a painful church breakup. In the aftermath, my heartsickness turned into physical sickness. I ended up in the emergency room due to vomiting, panic attacks, and insomnia. I grieved hard for at least a year.  

I became stronger and God has healed me, but tears still come to my eyes when I think about it.

Because it is hard. And it hurts SO MUCH.

When the heart is sick, what can you do? Where can you go?

There is really only one place you can go. To a doctor.

To THE Doctor. Jesus.

My heart became so unhealthy in my relationships, it felt like God did a spiritual heart surgery on me. He was opening me up and digging deep down into my past, my childhood, and my recent wounds. He cleaned my heart of all the poisonous infection and sewed me up again. I feel like He is an expert surgeon. He is patient, gentle, and careful with my heart.

Response:

Are you willing to let Him do “invasive surgery” in order to heal you? Will you go to Him and let his Spirit search your wounds? All of us have sickness and wounds from life. What is this relationship problem showing you about yourself that you never realized before?
