You have been crying out, “Is there no balm in Gilead, is there no physician there?”

My answer to you is yes, Beloved, there is a soothing balm and a Physician greater than any on earth.

I AM Jehovah Rophi, the Lord your Healer. No longer drink from the waters of Marah, which leave a bitter taste and bring no relief, but come to Me and drink of My Living Water. For there is no cost to you, My Child. The full price has been paid.

I AM He who carried your griefs and your sorrows. I have paid the ultimate price for you, My Bride. I am the Mender of broken hearts and bodies.

No more worrying, My Darling, My Love. Look to Me. Come to the River of Life. I will sustain you. I will be your relief and satisfy your soul.

Cast ALL your cares upon Me. All you who are thirsty, come and be filled and delight yourself in My abundance.

“Ho! Every one who thirsts, come to the waters; And you who have no money come, buy and eat. Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost.
