Why would God show us Himself as the Healer if we were never going to be hurt? In this world there is free will. Hurt caused by other humans is a reality we face. In this world there is an enemy called the Devil. Hurt caused by that evil one is a reality we face. In this world there is a system at work that we do not fully understand. At times that system causes us hurt. Whatever the reason we are hurt we have to face it. We can waste away in the futile attempt of trying to find someone or something to blame or we can look to the Healer to heal us.

YES!!! It’s a HUGE facet of His character, that He is able to do this. And as painful as it is to watch the hurt take place … the greater glory is always to come.
