girl talk

I'm hosting a women's Bible study this summer with some friends already near and dear and some new women in my life.  We are going through a book called "Girl Talk: A Modern Girl's Bible Study".  I thought it was going to be pretty fluffy and easy for the summer, but it turns out to be quite meaty.  Last night I was reading a section about the pain of childhood and the importance of dealing with it in order to have healthy relationships.  But I felt it was an answer to my prayers related to my divorce. 

I find my self frequently crying out, "God, I feel so damaged.  How will I ever heal?  Will I ever be capable of a healthy relationship?"  This is what I read:

We serve a God who is a Healer, a Father, a Comforter, a Restorer.  It's His specialty.  He is uniquely close to the broken-hearted.  He is capable of breaking the cycle in your life if you'll let Him.  He's no intruder; God must be invited into your brokenness.  He can teach you what healthy relationships look like, and He can restore intimacy into the very places it seems unrecoverable.

I'm so very glad to be reminded again that what seems impossible to me is not impossible to God.  He is more than able to do a mighty work in me.  He already is.
