Song Of A Wounded Heart

In November 2004, Lora Jones was a happy wife and proud mother of two beautiful children. Lora and her family left for a family vacation, excited to celebrate the holidays, but sounds of music and laughter in their van were shattered by a head-on collision. Lora watched helplessly as, one-by-one, her beloved family slipped into eternity. Awake in a nightmare, all traces of laughter were replaced by the mournful cries of a wounded heart. How in the world could Lora go on alone? Song of a Wounded Heart tells the true story of Lora’s journey from death to hope. Unbelievably, God sang to her the night of the accident. “Do not be afraid,” He whispered, “This is for my glory.” How could that be possible? She was crushed under the enormous pain, unable to think. In the months to come, as she struggled to understand, God patiently continued to sing, drawing her gently to His side, daring her to trust Him. Lora shares her personal journal entries, including the Bible reading plan God used to speak to her and stories of people in the Bible who also struggled with faith. Join Lora in Song of a Wounded Heart as she asks God questions, deals with anger and loneliness, and chooses to believe in the goodness of God, in spite of the circumstances.

At twenty three years of life, my heart is mangled. The love I shared was taken and given to another. Though, my muse he continues to be. Each word written has been taken from myself and laid to rest on the paper you read now. Don't simply read, absorb it inside yourself and feel. Love has three sides; happiness, uncertainty, and pain. I got to experience all through the love I thought was guaranteed until death should we part...simply not the case. Open your senses, be empathetic and experience the emotion. Only then can you appreciate someone's pain and joy. This isn't just a book filled with random words...this is my heart, my soul, and my mind...

When Jesus Christ began His earthly ministry He first went out and got baptised and was then lead of the Holy Spirit into the wilderness and there was tempted of the devil. Then in the power of the Spirit He began teaching in the synagogues. When He came to His home town of Nazareth and went to church on the sabath and stood up to read. The elders delivered the book of Isaiah to Him and He opened the book to the place where He read these words: The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. Luke 4:18-19 (KJV) Jesus chose this passage of scripture because it was known to be a prophecy of the coming Messiah and it is a concise outline of the purpose and ministry calling of our Lord. The Holy Spirit living in the hearts of every born-again Christian is working to fulfill this scripture for us all. Jesus Christ by The Spirit is also drawing all people to Him for their salvation through the measure of faith which our loving Father God has given to every person. It is will of God that no human being perish but that everyone would come to repnetence. It is therefore His will that we all hear and resond to the gospel; That our broken hearts be healed; that the chains of our captive bondage be broken; our physical and spritual eyes be opened; and every bruise and wound we carry be healed. That is the Theme, Calling and Purpose by which this Daily Devotional has been inspired to be written. The Word of God is clear in that our Heavenly Father wants all people to accept His salvation but just as true He wants all to be healed and delivered. It is my prayer that this Devotional will be used of The Lord to help accomplish this work in your lives.

Wounds can heal with time, but healed wounds always leave scars, reminding the person of the wound. Deep, extensive, or infected wounds may not heal on their own and require surgical removal of damaged skin and tissue. Reconstructive surgery can be done, bringing in new tissue or skin, resulting in a modified or renewed appearance. Yet, even with the best surgery, a faint scar will be detectable. Scientific research has yet to find a way of complete wound healing or tissue regeneration without leaving a scar. God in His infinite wisdom designed the human body in this way for a reason. Similarly, healed emotional wounds also leave scars, as shown in this book. Often in this life, the past gets in the way of the future. Deep emotional scars can be difficult to deal with. However, unless the root cause is dealt with or removed, true progress cannot be made.
