A Loving Hand

A friend of mine and I, heard a testimony today. The man shared the story of his brutal and horrendous prison experience and how he 'escaped'. Not in the literal sense of the word, but by his dramatic and and incredible conversion to Christianity. While sharing his story, he said something that jumped out and gripped my attention. He said he suffered from "Agony of the Soul". What a truly accurate description of the tormented man/woman. I suppose the reason I so related to and understood his words were that I too at one time, suffered from agony of the soul. When I surrendered my life, my hurts, and my "agonizing soul" to the Lord Jesus Christ, I found a supernatural rest.
Jesus performs a spiritual surgery to remove, repair and make new anything inside us that causes us to 'agonize' and suffer within. I found a complete peace knowing that I had forgiveness for ALL my wrongs and the storm of violent agony within me ceased. A loving God had laid his loving hand upon me and offered me rest. Do you need the nail scared hands to bring a healing touch to the 'agony of your soul'?
