“He binds what has been broken.”
Healing rarely looks the way we expect it to. It is often slow, nonlinear, and quietly miraculous. But God is the God who heals — not just bodies, but hearts, memories, wounds that no one else can see. Bring what is broken to him. He is not repelled by it. He moves toward it.
