So, God is the source of healing.

God does not merely observe our wounds.

He enters our brokenness with the power to restore us.

When human strength reaches its limit, He's healing and healing.

hand remains strong he can heal the body renew the mind restore the family and revive the soul no wound is too deep and no situation is too difficult for him place every broken part of your life into the hands of the greater healer

that is absolutely correct you know jeremiah is called the weeping prophet and he was the prophet during the the siege and the defeat of jerusalem by the babylonians and so this verse is preceded in this chapter talking about all kinds of destruction and war and death and so this is the shift that says meanwhile so meanwhile means god nevertheless had something good to say to jeremiah And he wrote this while he was still in prison, in a courtyard prison during the siege of Jerusalem.

And so he knew all about suffering and all of the death and destruction.

But here is God saying, nevertheless, and he is, God is offering both physical restoration and and spiritual renewal.

He promises deep safety in a season when they were not safe at all.

He's offering stability and truth, peace and security, or peace and truth depending upon which translation you're reading.

But any way you look at it, because the truth is we may not be able to relate to Jeremiah and God's people being in a siege and being defeated by Babylon.

But we can certainly all recognize seasons in our life where there seems to be a lot of destruction, a lot of hardships, even death and loss and grief.

And so when we hear a verse like this that is promising healing and restoration and peace, it is such an encouraging word.

So this is what we want you to hear, beloved listeners.

Well said, Ms. Karin.

Gods see what others cannot see.

People may notice your smile without recognizing the pain hidden behind it.

They may see success without understanding the battles you fight in silence.

But God sees every tear, every fear, every burden you carry.

He knows where you're hurt and he knows exactly how to reach you.

You are never invisible to the God who created and loves you.

And healing begins with surrender.

Many people ask God for healing while still holding tightly to the things causing their pain.

True healing begins when we surrender our pride, bitterness, fear, and desire for control.

God cannot feel hands that refuse to release what they are holding.
