“…I will turn their mourning into joy, I will comfort and cheer them after sorrow.” (Jer 31:13)
Yahweh calls to Himself those who have been hurt. Even if others have despised you, Yahweh says to you: “I want you! I have seen you down and unable to rise again. I’ve seen you at your worst, but I still want you. Let my love touch your wounds. I know who you could be and who you have been. Reach out to me and I will heal you. Don’t remember the failures anymore. Forget those who have mistreated you. You cannot change the past, but by my grace you can change the future.”
Notice: “But when Yeshua went there, the crowd thronged around him. Now a woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any, came from behind and touched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped..” (Luke 8: 42-44).
Don’t let anyone stop you from coming to Yeshua. Reach out and touch Him, let your tormenting pain guide you into His arms. Yahweh is the best friend and counselor you could ever find. He will help you untangle old tangles and free you from pain.
Forgiveness is not erasing the past, but letting it go! Throw the past out of your mind like you breathe out carbon dioxide that the body can no longer use.
Note: “And the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and shall come to Zion with shouting. Eternal joy is over their heads, joy and gladness shall possess them, but sorrow and sighing shall flee away.” (Isaiah 51: 11).
This is Yahweh’s promise to you too! Instead of letting your circumstances bury you, Yahweh will bring you to a place where you will overflow with joy. Make time for Yahweh today!
