Are You One Of God’s Wounded Warriors?

binding up the broken-hearted

 
Have you had a failed marriage?
 
Have you lost children?
 
Have you lost a spouse?
 
Did you lose one or both parents at a young age?
 
Has your faith in Christ caused friends and loved ones to shy away from you?
 
Has your health been a serious challenge to your ability to do the things that many people do so easily?
 
Has your ability to “make ends meet” been more difficult than ever before?
 
Have you continued to love and serve the Lord anyway?
 
If so, then YOU classify as a wounded warrior for the Lord! And you are uniquely qualified to bind up the broken-hearted! May God use you mightily to bring comfort and encouragement to others, especially the comfort of the soul-saving Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ! And may God minister healing to you as you minister to others. — RM Kane
 

“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.” Isaiah 61:1-3
