By His wounds we are healed

So something occurred to me yesterday during our 11 o'clock service. I sang a song, a song I have heard many times, a song i have sung many times. I know this song well. But as I was singing it a light bulb went off. This song comes from Isaiah 53:5 witch says; "But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed" By HIS wounds we are healed. Most of you know I have been trying to do this crazy thing that in the back of my mind I know I will never be able to do. I have been trying to heal myself. Yes that is exactly what I have been trying to do. In a way that's what cutters are trying to do they are trying to bring healing to there lives the problem is the "healing" is only temporary meaning it's not really healing at all. The bible doesn't say I will be healed by my own wounds, it doesn't say; If you are pierced for your transgressions, and crushed for your iniquities then that punishment will bring you peace and by your wounds you will be healed. NO it doesn't say that. BY HIS WOUNDS I AM HEALED. He payed the price I don't have to do anything except accept that he payed the price for my healing and take the required steps to experience that healing. I know that He is the healer and it is by his wounds that I am healed so why am I still trying to heal myself?
