“Then Jesus made a circuit of all the towns and villages. He taught in their meeting places, reported kingdom news, and healed their diseased bodies, healed their bruised and hurt lives.” (Matthew 9:35, The Message)
The main business that Christ was in when he ministered on the earth was healing lives; physically,yes, but even more important he came to heal "bruised and hurt lives." He came to heal the brokenness that lurks inside all of us (and you know that is intrinsically true in your own life, I don't even need to prove it to you). Fortunately, as God in the flesh, he was a master physician, completely understanding men before psychology was even trendy.
The thing about brokenness is that we want to be healed of it. There is something inside us that cries out to have ourselves "fixed," to be made right, or to be made whole. This is why I love the way The Message puts this passage. Christ made a circuit of towns healing bruised and hurt lives.
Has he healed your brokenness?
