The Day After the Breakup
By the Pace with Grace editorial team
Key Verse · Psalm 147:3 (NIV)
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”
The day after a breakup is its own kind of awful. You wake up and remember. The body remembers before the brain catches up.
Here's something Scripture knows that wellness influencers usually don't: healing is slow and physical.
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”
The phrase 'binds up' is medical. Hands-on. Wrapping a wound that needs to stay covered while it knits. It implies care that takes time.
You don't need to be 'over it' by next week. You don't need to find the lesson today. The wound deserves to be bound up, slowly, gently, with someone tending it.
God isn't rushing you. Don't rush yourself.
