A torn knee cartilage cannot be seen from the outside but felt only from the inside. Ones heart , spirit, that is torn is from the inside, just putting a patch like 'rejection' on it, does not heal the pain. The pain must be healed from within. listen not to " " mr fix it, minute man " " . the healing of a broken spirit, is the medicine of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the eternal ever-lasting cure and maintainer of all spirits. Seek the Healing Words of the Holy Spirit, and you will be guaranteed a soothing and lasting recovery. peace whitehorserides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
