A "Wounded Healer"

Tonight after praise and worship, I was prayed over by Sr. Eliana and my friends Nolan and Sam. I asked for prayers for healing from the wounds on my heart from all the years of cutting as well as freedom from the lies that are constantly running through my head. They began to pray over me and it was beautiful. I could feel the anointing of the Holy Spirit falling on us. Nolan prayed and then he received a word from the Lord. God first said that I will be His instrument and I will do more amazing things than I ever could imagine. Then the Lord said that I will be a "wounded healer," which is pretty much exactly what I needed to hear. After a few more minutes, Sr. Eliana confirmed this by saying that my wounds will never go away, just as Christ's never will. But I  must unite my wounds with Christ's and heal the broken. I have to be patient with myself and accept my wounds. That reminded me of what I came to realize last August when praying with my friend Manuel. I realized that broken people help heal broken people. So, I am going to ask the Lord to grant me the gift of healing because I know He is calling me to heal Romania.
