We are all broken, living among the broken. We need to see that. It will enable us, or it should, to be patient with the broken people around us. The Healer has come to make us whole. The human body has an amazing built-in ability to heal itself by its immune responses. In the same way, the Healer’s Presence in our lives is actively restoring us to wholeness. God wants healing for your enemies as much as He does for you, because they too are broken.
Father, we are broken and live among the broken. Heal us. Make us whole. May we be patient ambassadors and healing agents for the broken around us.
