From Peggie's Selected Writings

Hurt--to heal!

Peggie C. Bohanon

I cried, "Lord, use me!" He answered, "Wait."

Then came the hurt. Loneliness--I walked through desolation to share His fellowship. Doubt--I wept through despair to seek His faith. Fear--I wrestled through darkness to seize His freedom.

And the Balm of Gilead flowed into the depths of my soul. It cleansed; it soothed; it healed.

Again I cried, "Lord, use me!" This time He answered, "Go!"

"I send you forth to heal. Walk with the lonely-- share with them my fellowship. Weep with the despairing-- seek with them My faith. Wrestle with the fearful-- seize with them My freedom.

And the Balm of Gilead will flow into the depths of their souls. It will cleanse; it will soothe; it will heal."

He spoke again: "My child, I spared you no hurt-- that I might use you to heal!"

Please note that while I strongly adhere to major tenets of the evangelical Christian faith, I may not personally agree with every specific doctrinal belief set forth in other Christian pages, nor would all necessarily agree with me. I do want to provide a diversity of links and resource material for the entire Body of Christ to enjoy, and trust you will view it as such.
A safety tip: Internet links and material may include other links and/or material which do not reflect my Christian views or yours. Please choose wisely and use with discretion! And if you find an ugly spider hiding in a dark corner, you may smash it with a broom from my BROOM CLOSET--I hate offensive stuff too!
