Listen to my voice. I speak words that pierce your heart and bring healing. Let the infection gush out. Let me pour healing salve into your wounds. Let me bring healing.

Of course this hurts. Pain is not evil but only a sign of a wound. You have lost a part of yourself. The two were one and that was ripped away.

Of course you have pain. But I will heal you. I bring newness. I transform.

I will never leave you. I will never be torn from you.

Rest in me. Lay your head on my chest. Feel my arms holding you close. Feel my warm embrace.

I am with you always, to the end of the age.

Always.

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.
