He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. –Psalm 147:3, NIV
The path of healing for our hearts usually involves a combination of things that might include the wise counsel of professional healers, the solace of sweet companionship that we find in friendships and family, and the direct ministry of the Spirit of God who comforts us in our woes and brings us to life again. No matter which of these are part of your story, they all have the theme of healing through relationship. Because our deepest heart wounds come from people, it is also through redemptive relationships that healing will flow. And that, too, is part of our restoration—that God heals our hearts in a way that leaves us open to love and intimacy and community.
