Remember: Time is needed

Yes, read the above title, time is needed..what a wonderful thing TIME is..glad of the passing of time that will bring me understanding and to bring about the healing of one of my deepest wounds..
I did not recover in just a week's time, a month's time, a year's time..in fact there were times when i wondered if i could recover at all..But i did..as the time passed....

Time is needed...yes!! different people have different mental and emotional make-ups..some are stronger, some weaker, and some are in between..

Susan Tang in her book "Broken Open" quoted:

"The saying that 'time heals wound 'is not true..what is true is God uses the passing of time to heal the wounds.."

Just would love to share her poem:

To smile when heart is heavy
And all is full of ill
when the path of life is dull
And music's tongue is still
When the roses have all dropped and died
And their perfume now all spent
When streams dash madly,
wildly on
With fury giving vent,
When birds are silent in the trees
Beneath a sky cast grey
YES, to SMILE when the heart is breaking
And joy has taken flight,
is ever a courageous thing
And so precious to God's sight
