• Healing life’s hurts is the process of inviting the Lord into the hurts of our lives and allowing Him to heal us from the inside out!
• The definition of heal is: “to make sound or whole.”
• Jesus is fully committed to out healing process.
• Healing life’s hurts is the process of inviting Jesus into our memories and getting His perspective.
• An important aspect of this key is allowing Him to bring up the memories that He desires to bring up through the Holy Spirit.
