Hunt for Inner Healing 内心得医治

[Dexu Xia]

He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted.  Isaiah 61:1

Always a busy guy, Carson hunted, fished, rode dirt bikes, and skateboarded. He loved everything outdoors. But he was in a motorcycle accident and became paralyzed from the chest down. Soon depression sank in, and he didn’t see much of a future. Then one day some of his buddies got him to go hunting again. For a time he forgot about his injury as he enjoyed the beauty around him. This experience brought him inner healing and inspired a new purpose for his life—to provide the same experience for others like him through a nonprofit organization, Hunt 2 Heal. He says his accident was “a blessing in disguise. . . . Now I’m able to give back, which I’ve always wanted to do. I’m happy.” He’s excited about providing a place for those with severe mobility disabilities and their caregivers to find healing.

The prophet Isaiah foretold the coming of One who would bring healing for brokenness (Isaiah 61). He would “bind up the brokenhearted” and “comfort all who mourn” (vv. 1–2). After Jesus read this Scripture in His hometown synagogue, He said, “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing” (Luke 4:21). Jesus came to save us and make us whole.

Are you in need of inner healing? Turn to Jesus and He’ll give you “a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair” (Isaiah 61:3).

In what ways do you need Jesus’ healing? Who can you tell about Him and the salvation and wholeness He offers?

Thank You, Jesus, for the healing You’ve brought to me and many others. I look forward to complete healing in heaven one day.

主耶和华⋯⋯差遣我医好伤心的人。—以赛亚书61章1节

卡森总是很忙碌，他打猎、钓鱼、骑越野车，也爱玩滑板。他酷爱各种户外活动。但有一次，他骑机车发生了车祸，造成下半身瘫痪。不久，他便陷入深度忧郁，觉得自己前途茫茫。后来有一天，他的一些好友又找他一起去打猎。他享受着田野的美丽风光，一度忘了自己身上的残疾。这样的体验使他内心的伤痛得到了医治，也使他产生了生命的新目的，就是提供同样的经验给像他这样的患者。于是，他成立一个非营利机构（Hunt 2 Heal），为行动有障碍的人提供户外体验，改善心理健康。在受访时他表示：“我的意外事故是一个化妆的祝福⋯⋯现在我能够回馈社会，这是我一直想做的。我很快乐。”他很兴奋能提供一个地方给严重肢体障碍者与其照顾者，让他们的内心能得到医治。

先知以赛亚预告那位将来的弥赛亚，会为心灵破碎的人带来医治（以赛亚书61章）。祂会“医好伤心的人”、“安慰一切悲哀的人”（1-2节）。耶稣在祂家乡的会堂里，读了这段经文之后，对众人说：“今天这经应验在你们耳中了”（路加福音4章21节）。耶稣来是为了拯救我们，使我们不再破碎，得以完全。

你的内心需要得医治吗？转向耶稣吧！祂会赐给你“赞美衣代替忧伤之灵”（以赛亚书61章3节）。
