The action of grace brings healing. Perpetually wounded forerunners have broken voices and will declare faulty messages. So before God deals with the “high places”, He graciously replaces the pain of our low places. The highway to Zion cannot be full of potholes. Where we have been crushed, God will bring healing. If you feel lost in a place of despair, know this: God is in motion to bring comfort to past wounds and present disappointments. While a forerunner like John the Baptist can only be prepared in a furnace of suffering, it must not turn into bitterness, cynicism or unending despair.
