There__ only one way to find peace with a painful past and that is through a personal relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ. He alone, through His Spirit, can place a healing balm on our deep wounds. The Bible says: __ou can__ heal a wound by saying it__ not there!_ (Jeremiah 6:14 TLB)We (Beth and Sherrie) have found that in the places that hurt the most, God brings a promise from the Bible to our memory at just the right time. We have experienced comfort and growth through our growing relationship with Jesus and how we long for the same growth for you!

Moses needed to learn that God was Jehovah-tsidkenu__he One who is righteous and the source of true acceptance. The staff was symbolic of Moses_ life. God was asking him to let go of it__o give complete control to him. When Moses picked it up, it was no longer his life but the very life of God_Just like Moses, until we yield control of our lives to Jesus Christ, it is impossible to see ourselves through God__ eyes. Try as we may, we will never see our worth through accomplishments or the opinions of others. (from Under His Wings: Healing Truth for Adoptees of All Ages)

Those who are wounded wound others. Moses was wounded profoundly when he lost his birth family, his heritage, and his history. In the years to come, he would come to know Jehovah-rophe, the Healer of life__ sicknesses and sorrows. Exodus 15: 26b says, __for I am the Lord, who heals you._ (from Under His Wings: Healing Truth for Adoptees of All Ages)
