How could a loving God have allowed such devastation to enter into the heart and life of one who loves and follows Him, especially when it occurred during the course of serving Him? The individual had submitted to authority figures as an act of submission to the Lord and consequently anticipated the outworking of God's sovereign hand of protection in exchange for such obedience. However, when the relationship yields heartache and spiritual abuse, the victim initially blames the perpetrator, but ultimately blames the Lord Himself.
It is my desire to create a discussion that explores the anatomy (what it looks like) and the physiology (how it operates) of a spiritual wound, illuminates the wound and exposes it to examination, diagnoses the stage of healing, and sets forth a treatment plan and goals all under the direction of the Great Physician.
