0720 痛苦在我的愛中得醫治
在我愛的安全感中，痛苦得以醫治。有些傷口，我會慢慢醫治。我用溫柔的呼吸，不讓希望的火苗熄滅，讓你重獲新生；我把你安全地擁入懷中。有時，我又會以非常強烈、充滿熱情的力量，使你在一瞬間得着醫治。
無論我用什麼方式醫治你，我一定能醫治你；但你必須允許我這樣做。從絕望的邊緣跌入我的懷抱吧，毫無保留地信靠我，放下你的痛苦，把它放在我的手中——我那雙帶着釘痕的手中。選擇放棄你與痛苦緊密相連的身份認同；記住我是誰，你是誰。感受到痛苦是可以的，但親愛的，痛苦不能定義你；告訴我你緊抓痛苦不放的理由。降服並不會使你軟弱，反而使你勇敢；雖然剛開始會害怕，但我會拆毀那些你為了保護自己而建築起來的牆。不要擔心，我會一直在你身旁。
主靠近一切心靈被痛苦壓碎的人，並且祂隨時預備恢復悔改的人。即使當不幸的事臨到善良敬虔的人，主必會拯救他們，不讓他們被所面對的處境擊垮。——詩篇 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
