isAs I was praying,and thought of many of the people I know and pray for,the words ,damaged beyond human repair, came to mind. I do not just mean the mentally ill,there are so many damaged people in this world,and no one can help them.It was the prophet Ezekiel who found himself in the midst of a valley full of bones,human bones,and he is asked a question by God, /can these bones live?/[Ezekiel 37v 3].Ezekiel did not know the answer,let us confess our ignorance, as I look at the damaged people,I have to confess like Ezekiel ,that only God knows the answer.Those bones would live,would take on flesh,would stand up on their own two feet. The question is how? God, He did it,Ezekiel's part in it was to speak Gods word to them, God continually reassures us of His healing power,Jesus healed multitudes.If ever the world needed the healing touch of Jesus it is now,in so many places in this world , we have damaged people beyond human repair. People damaged by abuse and violence,lives damaged by this sinful world,broken hearts ,broken lives,broken minds. I truly believe that the answer is Jesus,the one who said,/Come unto Me all ye that labour,and are heavy laden,and I will give you rest [Matthew 11v28]
A prayer.....[ Dear God if we are honest ,we are all damaged,some of us more than others,so we ask that in mercy through Your dear Son Jesus,save,and heal us Amen /
