For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded and stricken within me. (Psalm 109:22)
Is it wrong to have a wounded heart? No, it is not wrong, but you need to get it healed and go on. In Old Testament days, if a priest had a wound or a bleeding sore, he could not minister. I think today we have a lot of wounded healers. Am I saying wounded ministers cannot minister? No, but am saying they need to get healed. Jesus said that the blind cannot lead the blind; because they will both fall into a ditch. In order to minister properly, we need to go to God and let Him heal us first. We need to know that God wants people with wounds He can heal. He wants the same people to go and bring healing to others. God loves to use those who have been hurt and wounded, because nobody can minister to someone else better than one who has had the same problem or beeb in the same situation as that person.
If we are still bleeding and hurting from our own wounds, we are not going to be able to come against other peoples problems with the kind of aggressive faith we would have.
