Balm For Heart Wounds

What are the greatest wounds of your heart, those that cause you to live conscious through the night?  What to do?  Scenario after scenario plagues your mind even as you try to pray through those lonely hours.  Two great truths come with dawn; you can always choose the path of love, the only way to healing and every night comes with a dawn.  Dawn is God’s continual gift to you; love is your offering of gratitude to Him. 


No one can make you choose love and wounds often bring out our most animalistic tendencies.  Have you ever tried to tend a wounded animal, they withdraw and lash out, unaware of our good intentions and our ability to ease and comfort their pain.    We too can find our self hiding in dark corners snarling painfully at God’s hand reaching toward us.  His intentions are good but we can only feel the pain of our wounds.  Love, both received from God and our response toward others, is the only balm for heart wounds.  

Botecellis St. Augustine
