I was so thirsty. I was hurting inside. The scars ran so deep. I felt so let down and rejected by men I looked up to as role models, and thought loved and cared for me. How did I numb the pain of these scars that still stung? I went back to the same old wells, hoping this time, I wouldn't leave feeling thirsty. I clung to the arms of men, who pretended to care, hoping that being in the arms of them, that the comfort of being held will take all the pain away. But I came out empty handed, and with new scars to heal, more rejection, more thirsty than I was before, I attempted my own way, to be cured.
It wasnt until I drank from His well, that the true healing took place, He slowly but surely can heal our old hurts, leftover scars from the past, and strengthen us, and make us whole. He has what it takes to make us whole. He knows how to properly handle, and comfort tendly a wounded soul.
Satan throws substitutes at us, that just adds more rejection, more scars, ontop of the ones we already had, leaving us feeling even more empty handed, alone, and thirsty, than we did, before we searched for help in all the wrong places.
But our loving God scoops us up, carries us into His care, drys our tears, calms our fears, gives us all the living water that can heal us, and makes our spirit alive again. He is so awesome, and worthy to be praised!
