The Master Healer

Times of sorrow touch all of us in one way or another. This is an inevitable truth that cannot be avoided or denied. Tragic things happen, be it the loss of a loved one, loss of health, loss of home,
etc.
When these painful things happen, we turn to various sources of comfort:
- Some turn inward, pushing others away.
- Some turn to self-medicating with drugs or alcohol, attempting to numb the pain.
- Some become bitter, letting their anger over their situation carry them away to dark places.

Then there are those who turn to the only true source of comfort - our Savior, Jesus Christ. He alone is the ONLY source of comfort that brings about true healing. The others are only temporary diversions, and there is nothing to be gained from them but heartache and a separation from God.

Seeking healing in Christ takes a great deal of faith, but I promise you, it is worth every effort exerted in pursuing it, and healing through Him is permanent.
We will continue to have trials, and many will bring pain and sorrow, but the Lord has promised us comfort and healing during these times, as long as He is our sole source of comfort.
There is no other.
Everything else is just detrimental diversion.
Happy sabbath!
