"He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. He telleth the number of the stars; He calleth them all by their names" (Psalm 147:3,4). "A wounded spirit who can bear?" (Proverbs 18:14). "Christ also suffered for us... by whose stripes ye were healed" (1 Peter 1:21-24).
God put the stars and the planets in space;
He placed them in orbit and named every star.
Yet we are the objects of His love and grace:
He searches our hearts and He knows who we are.
The sorrows we bear, He knows and He feels,
For He bore our sorrows and suffered for us.
Yet by His stripes and affliction He heals,
And fits us for heaven eternally thus.
He heals the broken in heart who will turn;
He binds up the wounds of the spirit distressed.
While there is much more about Him to learn,
To know that He heals the heart gives us rest.
