Todays Grace Moment: Wounded healers are the best The people whose spiritual talk I most care to listen to arent people with perfect hair and physiques, perfect lives, and plenty of money. The best witness is not given by the super successful. If Donald Trump says, Trust in God and everything will be fine, Id say Yeah, right, because the Donald can buy his way out of whatever trouble he may be in. But if someone who has buried a child says, The Lord Jesus was there for me to comfort my heart, that I find believable. Thats a powerful witness. Shes earned the right to be taken seriously. I call those people wounded healers. When somebody has been broken and the Lord has patched him or her back together, thats a compelling testimony in our world. People wont suspect you of being a hypocrite when you then talk about Christ. If youve been wounded, not only will God put you back together, but he also will also re-invite you to be part of his work team. The brokenness of your past does not disqualify you from being useful because its Gods agenda, not yours. He reminds you, My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). Perhaps your pain, your failures, your disabilities will become a perfect canvas on which God can paint beautiful things.
