The Lord heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
Psalm 147:3
You may have heard that old English proverb, “Time heals all wounds.” But is it true? I disagree with this because it’s only partially true. Time, alone, does not heal wounds. There are many people out there who have been hurt from past traumas and have never recovered. As a result of their past pain, they inflict pain on others either intentionally or unintentionally. For example, when someone gets physically hurt, they need to tend to the wound. And the greater the wound, the greater the level of care. If you get a paper cut, you can probably get by with ignoring it. But if break your arm, you need to give it a lot of attention. Same thing goes with our emotional and spiritual wounds; the greater the injury, the more attention it needs. So no, time does not heal all wounds. Time and the work you put into it heals all wounds.
