HEALED

PSALM 147:3 (CEB)
God heals the brokenhearted
and bandages their wounds.


MARK 16:2,4 (ABP)
The women went to the tomb at sunrise on the Sunday morning after the crucifixion. As the daylight grew brighter they could see that the large stone which had sealed the tomb had been rolled back from the entrance.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
All life's brokenheartedness is temporary, wiped out as the light of the resurrection illumines the situation.

PRAYER
Thank you, Father, for the empty tomb. Jesus is risen! He lives with me and in me each day, healing my brokenness and binging up all that causes me pain. Forgive me when I hold onto myself too tightly, not allowing your grace and mercy to permeate my being. Today, I open myself to you, gracious God. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
