When you return to Jesus, He will not break or cast you away but mend and heal your bruises. He was bruised for our iniquities and by His stripes we are healed.
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. Isa 53:5

Come, Jesus was delivered for our offenses and raised for our justification. And very shortly Satan himself will be bruised under our feet at the glorious appearing of Jesus.
He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. Ps 147:3

Our duty is to maintain our divine state of health by preventing and stand against Satan and his cohorts of hell from causing any bruise to our life and all that concerns you.
All things are working together for our good, till Jesus sends out judgment for our victory, keep on with your duty.
Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. 2Cor 2:14
