Living in a fallen world we all carry wounds.
Often this is due to stuff that's happened to us.
But our most troublesome wounds tend to be self-inflicted... arising out of stupid or sinful things we've done.
From this, guilt and regret can weigh us down daily... keeping us from fulfilling the unique and important callings God has for us.
But the good news of the gospel is that the Lord heals wounds...
Even those brought upon ourselves.
So if you are suffering and hindered by wounds today, look to Jesus. He's able and eager to mend your soul.
Receive the healing He wants you to have.
And in that healing, go after the righteous works of His kingdom He's given you to do...
And pursue them with a good conscience, in the energy of His Spirit.
'He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed' (1 Pet.2:24).
