Hidden Wounds, There is Hope

There are many who suffer from hidden wounds.
I am not speaking of physical wounds that you might discover under ones clothing, or physical wounds that might go undetected unless seen with a special device that views inside the body.
The wounds of which I speak are so deeply embedded, they often go ignored, denied existence or not properly cared for,
leaving them to fester, becoming infected with; anger, fear, shame, guilt, hatred of self and or others, bitterness and more.
Those suffering from such wounds go through life in severe pain.
Many being institutionalized, made to feel invisible, mishandled, and or learning to become masters of disguise.
These wounds are deep gaping wounds of the heart when left untreated, bleed into every relationship and area of daily life.
Yet there is hope for one suffering from such wounds.
That hope is Jesus Christ.
  John 10:10 says "...I came that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."
The festering and bleeding needs to be stopped, and the wound cared for properly, or life continues to be drained until death occurs.
In Matthew 11:28 Jesus said " come to me all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest."
Psalm 107:19 says " Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress."
Yes, there is hope for one suffering from such wounds.
 Jesus says in John 14:6 "I am the way the truth and the life."
He wants your trust in his directing you in how and where to get help, that you may walk in abundant life.
