Bible Verse of The Day – 7-4-26

Psalm 147:3 (NKJV) 3 He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds.

I want to talk about pain today because I feel so many of us hurt at times and we don’t even realize it.

It could be the tiniest thing that happened to us, but it holds a big spot in our heart.

Right before my dad passed on, he said to me, “I don’t think I’m going to beat this one”. I responded to him, “it’s OK, dad.”

It wasn’t long after that, he breathed his last breath.

As time went by, I was missing him terribly, and that moment came back to me.

And the more I longed to hear his voice again, the more the words I said to him started to haunt me.

Instead of it being a precious time, being able to say goodbye and all, I started to question what I had said to him.

It was eating away at me. And then one day I broke down.

As I was crying, my husband asked me what was wrong.

I told him, “when my dad died, I told him it was OK to not beat this one”.

I said, “that was stupid of me”.

He asked me why I thought it was stupid.

I said, “because it’s not OK”.

As the tears rolled down my cheeks, I said, “I don’t want him to be gone, and maybe I didn’t say the right thing”.

He said to me, “no, it wasn’t stupid for you to say what you said. You were the only one that would have said that to him, and he needed to hear exactly what you said. It was his time to go home. Those were the words that helped him let go.”

You see, sometimes we may be holding onto something that we did or said. And we don’t even realize it is eating away at us and causing pain.

I needed to talk it out, and as I did, it showed me how much of a grip it had on me.

What is it today that is causing you sadness and pain? Are you willing to talk it through?

God wants to bring healing to you.

We love you all and pray for you daily. You are so very special to us, and we don’t want you to be hurting.

What is it that brings you sadness, pain, and frustration when you are reminded of it?
