Healing the Heart

"He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them."
John 12:40

The correlation found in this scripture is helpful for me to understand. A hardened heart and blindness to the truth are conditions for failure to true understanding and conversion. In other words, understanding with the heart leads to true conversion or change. And true change or conversion allows my savior to heal me. The implications of being healed are so great! I would do anything to be healed, not physically but spiritually.

"He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up thier wounds." Psalms 147:3

He heals the broken heart! The pains from within that cannot be seen on the outside, are mended through personal conversion. This kind of conversion or realignment of direction is meant to occur often, maybe even daily. I have great control over the healing process. By my actions I determine whether or not the savior will be allowed to heal me.
