He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. Psalms 147:3
With a broken heart one morning, I boarded a bus to go to work. Among the advertisements posted overhead on both sides was a verse taken from the world’s best seller—The Bible. It was this Proverb! The oil of the Spirit was poured into my soul and got me through that day. Oft times since, the same balm has been a comforting word over the years. Is your heart heavy today? Turn to His Word and it will be a balm to you too. —E. MacLelland
There is a Balm in Gilead to make the wounded whole;
There is a Balm in Gilead to heal the sin-sick soul. —Alfred B. Smith
