Be Comforted

Tonight at church someone read the words of Jesus, “will ye not now return unto me, and repent of your sins, and be comforted, that I may heal you?”

And I felt those words pull on my heart, “be comforted that I may heal you.”

He loves us so much. He asks us to let go of hurt, let go of anger, let go of needing retribution, and let Him heal our hearts. I’m glad I was at church tonight.

Later, I read the passage, and the words are actually “be converted” but the Holy Spirit knew what I needed to hear. And now the words converted and comforted seem to have a shared meaning that adds richness to my understanding.
