He Heals the Brokenhearted...

"He heals the broken-hearted and binds their wounds."
-Psalm 147:3

Wow.  This has been an awesome week for my family--an awesome week of faith testers, us testers, and hard work toward a stressed-less life.  Immediately after reading Psalm 147:3 several times in the begining of the week, my daughter whimpered to me that the tail of one of her stuffed animals had come off.  It is one that she loves and sleeps with, so I knew her little friend had to be fixed quickly.  I took some pictures of my daughter for our photo assignment this week, but I took so many that I couldn't post just one!  As I was looking at these pictures of my daughter attempting to "heal" her pal, I started thinking about how God heals us...

He not only listens to our hearts, He wants to be inside of our hearts...
He is there for us when we feel like we are under pressure...  
He heals our illness or keeps them away all together...

definition of reflex: an action that is performed without conscious thought in response to a stimulus 
This is how God want us to be everyday, not just during times of stress, anxiety, fear, sadness, and over all, bad days in life...He wants us to come to Him, lean on Him, rely on Him without conscious thought in response to life. 

When we start getting too hot, agitated, frustrated, anxious, helpless, all of the above, He wants to guide us...He wants to help us...He wants to heal us!

 He can always hear our cries...He never leaves us...He wants to heal us...He will heal us...but we have to drown out the distracting noise in our lives, clear out the junk in our heads so we can listen for God and His guidance...

He forever has His arms wrapped around us in love...



He will never let us go...
Below you will see my daughter writing down her animal's injury in her "Big Book of BooBoo's--Doc McStuffins".  It got me thinking how He know's every name...He hears every cry...He heals every ailment and fulfills every need according to His purpose...

 It was quite the learning experience I received from God through my three year old.  As far as I'm concerned, He can keep these beautiful lessons coming.  God bless you all and I hope that you have enjoyed this as much as I have!

  2. Jenny, the pictures of your daughter's obvious love for her stuffed animal paint a sweet picture of God's love for us. So stinkin' sweet! (And, I have a Doc McStuffins fan over here - sitting right next to me, too.) ;) I smiled big as I read your post.
