0720 痛苦在我的爱中得医治
在我爱的安全感中，痛苦得以医治。有些伤口，我会慢慢医治。我用温柔的呼吸，不让希望的火苗熄灭，让你重获新生；我把你安全地拥入怀中。有时，我又会以非常强烈、充满热情的力量，使你在一瞬间得着医治。
无论我用什么方式医治你，我一定能医治你；但你必须允许我这样做。从绝望的边缘跌入我的怀抱吧，毫无保留地信靠我，放下你的痛苦，把它放在我的手中——我那双带着钉痕的手中。选择放弃你与痛苦紧密相连的身份认同；记住我是谁，你是谁。感受到痛苦是可以的，但亲爱的，痛苦不能定义你；告诉我你紧抓痛苦不放的理由。降服并不会使你软弱，反而使你勇敢；虽然刚开始会害怕，但我会拆毁那些你为了保护自己而建筑起来的墙。不要担心，我会一直在你身旁。
主靠近一切心灵被痛苦压碎的人，并且祂随时预备恢复悔改的人。即使当不幸的事临到善良敬虔的人，主必会拯救他们，不让他们被所面对的处境击垮。——诗篇 34:18-19
0720 Pain is healed in my love.
In the safety of my love is where pain heals. Some wounds I heal slowly. With gentle breath that won’t quench a sacred ember of hope, I bring you back to life. I cradle you safely in my arms. Other times, I come roaring with such passionate might that you’re healed in an instant.
No matter how I heal you, I do heal you. But you must let me. Fall into my arms off the edge of despair. Come into unreserved trust in me and let go of your pain. Place it in my hands–my nail-scarred hands. Choose to relinquish the identity of your pain that you have connected with. Remember who I am and who you are. It’s okay to feel pain, but it cannot define you, beloved. Give me your reasons for holding on to the pain. Surrendering doesn’t make you weak. It makes you brave. Though it’s scary at first, I will knock down those walls you’ve erected to protect yourself. Don’t worry, I will be right by your side.
The Lord is close to all whose hearts are crushed by pain, and he is always ready to restore the repentant one. Even when bad things happen to the good and godly ones, the Lord will save them and not let them be defeated by what they face. –PSALM 34:18-19
