TIME

Thanks Evi for use of your photo! 


Someone once said to me that

‘time will heal everything’.

Well, that’s a crock!!

Time 
heals nothing.

Time 
does not delete memories.

Time 
does not undo mistakes.

Time 
does not reduce the pain inflicted.

Time 
does not diminish the damage done.

Time 
will revisit what has not been resolved

10 years, 
20 years, 
or even 40 years later.

Time 
holds still for no one.

Time 
flies.

But my time is in God’s Hands!

Only an ever-present, loving, caring, kind

and awesomely gracious Heavenly Father

heals the wounded spirit of His precious child,

for time

and

eternity.

He makes His presence felt 
through the healing touch of a human hand.

He speaks kind, loving and gracious words

through the mouth of someone who honestly cares.

He shows His good pleasure 
through the eyes of someone 
with a warm, genuine smile.

He affirms the value of His child 
through the heartfelt hug of a friend.

He corrects behavior and 
rebukes error lovingly by speaking truth

through His Word and His willing servants.

He shares the load 
through the prayers of concerned, caring friends.

He never leaves the wounded spirit alone, 
always sending another to walk alongside.

He heals the wounded spirit, 
in His time, 
in His way and for His glory alone.

His divine purpose is achieved 
through the wounds, 
the pain and 
the healing process.

The journey takes a lifetime!
