Because Jesus was wounded, He received authority to bring healing to you and me. Out of His brokenness, others were made whole.
There is a PURPOSE for your PAIN!
Only the broken become masters at MENDING. Paul said that God "comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God" (2 Corinthians 1:4).
Find God's purpose in the REVERSALS of your life, and you'll turn them into STEPPING-STONES of blessing. God doesn't waste the EXPERIENCE!
All of us have gone through things that we never imagined could have happened to us - but they did. The problem is, the same sunshine that melts the butter hardens the clay.
EXPERIENCE can make us hard and cold, or it can drive us into the arms of Jesus where we find answers and compassion.
Today, you're going to meet people who are hurting. They will relate to your EXPERIENCE; not your THEORIES.
Let God use your WOUNDS and your PAIN to make you an instrument of HEALING wherever you go.
