I will share about Christian books I have read or listened to.
I will be sharing about my life before and after Christ. I will include stories about my pet and other pets I have encountered.
Healed by His Wounds
Brokenness. We see it all around us. We experience it ourselves: in our relationships, in our dreams, in our bodies. And yet, something happened over two thousand years ago that still has the power to heal that brokenness.
1 Peter 2:24 says, "He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed."
Jesus Christ, the sinless Son of God, took the weight of our sins upon Himself. He carried them to the cross, giving up His life not because of His own wrongdoing, but because of ours. This is the essence of the Gospel. Through His sacrifice, He offered us a path out of darkness and into His light—a life transformed by His grace.
Because of Christ’s sacrifice, we’ve been given a profound healing of our spirits; new life taking the place of sins and darkness that separate us from God. Through His wounds, we are offered forgiveness and a new relationship with God, healed and whole.
Understanding His sacrifice transforms us. We can’t live in darkness anymore. Brokenness may surround us, but it is no longer within us. His righteousness washes over us. His healing wells up within us. Our entire life shifts as a response to the profound love and sacrifice Jesus showed us, and the healing that He alone can provide.

Hebrews 10:19–25 opens by reminding us that, through Jesus, we have direct access to God. His ultimate sacrifice tore the veil and made a way for us to draw near to God with confidence.
But the Christian life was never meant to be lived alone. That’s why the author calls us to look outward: to think deeply about how we can motivate each other toward love and action.
The phrase “spur one another on” isn’t passive. It’s about intentionally encouraging, challenging, and inspiring others to live out their faith in practical, tangible ways. In a world that often pushes us toward self-focus, Hebrews reminds us that one of the ways we endure is by investing in others.
And it also means when someone spurs you on toward ...
