The Hurt Inside

There are wounds we carry that no one sees—quiet aches of the heart that remain unresolved. Some hurts settle deep, hidden behind smiles and busyness, if you feel that it is OK, almost a part of normal life these days. They’re not always spoken aloud, yet they shape how we live and trust. But God sees every hidden bruise. God understands the pain we struggle to name. Faith gives us a place to bring what we cannot fix.

Psalm 147:3 says, “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds” (NKJV). God doesn’t rush us; He tends to our pain with gentleness and grace. His healing may not erase the memory or hurt, but He will redeem it, offering peace where there was only sorrow.

You don’t have to carry hurt alone. Faith invites you to place it in the hands of the One who truly understands it.
