Dear God,

"There is a balm in Gilead to make the wounded whole..." the song goes.  Yes, indeed there is a balm, a soothing, healing balm for wounded souls. 

Who would want to go on without this balm?  Who could face the future?  You are the balm of heaven.  You are the answer to the world's hurts, brokenness, and sin.  Only you have the salve of healing that can mend anything that plagues us.

When we hurt so bad, Lord, we know we must turn to you.  For there is no one who wants to heal like you, no one who can heal us, only you.  We come to you at our worst and fall at your feet.  There we find the beginning of mercy.

Thank you,
Lord,
for the
gracious gift
of your love.
Your love
can heal
like no other.
Bless you,
Lord,
bless you
for accepting us
as we are
so you
can heal us.

Love, Andrea
