God, the Tender Physician
Commentators describe God's healing work as deeply personal and compassionate. Charles Spurgeon paints a picture of God as a wonderful surgeon who carefully "binds up their wounds" or a physician who "walks the hospitals" of human suffering. This isn't a distant, abstract healing but a hands-on, tender care for those with mental and spiritual sorrows.
