But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. (Isaiah 53:5 NIV)
Love has the power to heal us in a way that nothing and nobody can. There’s something about it that helps us overcome the pain. When we know we’re loved, we’re changed from the inside out. We begin to see ourselves – and others – in a new light. No matter how much we’ve been hurt, love has the power to cure the pain and help us to rise again. It’s such a powerful force that nothing can contend with it (Romans 8:31-39).
The Bible is explicit about God’s love for us. It’s a love so great that He went through great lengths to prove it. We see that love in the person of His Son, Jesus, and His ultimate sacrifice on the cross. And while this love cost Jesus His life, it brought us healing: “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5). His love heals us! Let this truth fill your heart and make it whole again.
