Scripture reminds us that He is close to the brokenhearted and actively binds up our wounds (Psalm 147:3). He knew us before we were formed (Jeremiah 1:5), and through Christ we are continually being made new (2 Corinthians 5:17). Healing may come in layers, but our Father restores with precision, compassion, and perfect timing. When we allow Him to renew our minds (Romans 12:2), even our youngest wounds can become places of transformation.
