• People always say it's harder to heal a wounded heart than a wounded body. Bullshit. It's exactly the opposite—a wounded body takes much longer to heal. A wounded heart is nothing but ashes of memories. But the body is everything. The body is blood and veins and cells and nerves. A wounded body is when, after leaving a man you’ve lived with for three years, you curl up on your side of the bed as if there’s still somebody beside you. That is a wounded body: a body that feels connected to someone who is no longer there.

  Lookin' for a friend
  Where can you turn
  Whisper the words of a prayer and you'll find Him there
  Arms open wide, love in His eyes

  Jesus - He heals your secret scars
  All the love you're looking for is Jesus
  The friend of a wounded heart
