                       Let Me Heal You


Come to Me, child. I will fill those gaps that lay empty. I will love 
on you like no other man on this earth has ever or will ever love on 
you.  It is only when you truly receive My love, that you will be able 
to love other people with My love and in turn receive love back. 

I do not hate you. I am not waiting to chide you for every imperfect 
decision you have made. I know you are not perfect. That is why I came 
down and died for you. Humble yourself My child and die to who you 
thought you were. 

I have not placed on you the expectations that you have placed on 
yourself. I created you perfectly, equipping you with all that you will 
ever need to accomplish My will for your life. I created you with a 
missing gap and piece of the puzzle--because I was meant to fill that 
missing piece. I am the missing piece. So when you come to Me, you do 
not just come to another hit-and-miss idea, expecting to move on to 
find something greater. When you come to Me, you come to the real thing. 

I am the real deal. That is why it hurts Me when you settle for cheap 
seconds, when all along I was the missing piece. I said cheap because 
when you come to Me, you are free to give Me your all, holding nothing 
back, and that is so precious to Me that it was worth pouring out My 
blood. I am your wise investment. Your past experiences have made you 
like a fearful and cautious stock broker, who invests the bare minimum 
for fear that investing more would not yield a good return. 

I will say again, I am your wise investment. I am not a quick fix. I 
will sit down with you and I will heal your wounds and that takes time. 
I am a patient Father. Do not hide your wounds from Me. Like a wounded 
bear, you paw and react violently when I reach past the surface and 
skin deep for fear that exposure to your wound and any contact with it 
will make the pain worse. I understand that you are wounded and broken, 
yet is this not what I require? That, in spite of being wounded and 
broken you can surrender to Me? A wound untreated will get infected 
and the infection has potential to spread to the rest of the body. 

Do not hide from Me anymore. Come and let Me heal you. Let Me restore 
you to what you were meant to be. Yet even that thought may feel like 
a reproach to you because you have looked through the mirror of life, 
and a broken, twisted and distorted image has looked back at you so 
long, that you do not know nor can you comprehend what restoration looks 
or feels like. As you let Me heal you, I will pick up the broken pieces 
and recreate you. You have looked for a point of reference, or else 
looked for what you perceived to be a picture of perfect restoration, 
and yet I say unto you as I have always said in My word, I am doing a 
new thing and what I am doing in you will be unique to only you. 

Though the pieces are many and you feel like you are scattered 
everywhere, yet I know who you are and I know where the scattered 
pieces are. I will blow My Wind and cause those pieces to come 
together and I will rebuild you. You will see for yourself that I 
live and that I live deep within you. Do not be afraid to reach out 
to others even as I heal you. I do not wait until you are perfect to 
use you. Pour yourself out as a sacrifice, and I will take the 
testimony of what I have done in you and impart it to others. I will 
give you wisdom so that you will not throw your pearls before swine. 

Now is the time to just come. I'm waiting for you.
