Hey Redeemers! What a season, what a journey. 2020 has been the year of many unfortunate events. If we're to be really honest, we truly didn't see any of this coming. Nevertheless, thanks be to God who always causes us to triumph. On the next side of this pandemic, there is victory!
I believe God is doing an extraordinary work on the earth and in the life of His people. A work behind closed doors; away from observers. For a while now God has been dealing with me about confronting “the broken little girl in the mirror”. Confronting different occurrences in my life and how it affected me.
To confront means to face up to and deal with (a problem or difficult situation). It’s time to face “YOU”. For many of us, we have been occupied and distracted with our daily life routine. Now, we've been granted a period to slow down and examine ourselves. We're in a season where God is allowing us to take a look in the mirror. We're now being forced to expose our truth and to see the reality of who we truly are.
God showed me that the reason I respond and behave the way I do is due to wounds that have not been healed but rather covered up. Covered up by a smile, or by a lie of “I'm okay”. It's so easy to believe a lie because the truth allows you to analyze yourself. For me and others that will read this blog, it's time! Time to be honest with ourselves.
It all started with someone who I had trusted with my future but instead, I was left hurt, rejected, and broken. Even though I had forgiven the individual, I was still hurting. Sometimes, I would replay in my head how further I could've been in life if such individual had my best interest at heart. I wasn't completely healed. Admitting to that had continued my healing process.
Wherever there is suppressed pain or unresolved trauma, there is a wound. In the physical when there's a wound, if not tended to, it can become infected and does great harm to the body. It's the same spiritually. To address those wounds, it will hurt but definitely be worth it. This time you don't have to take care of it on your own but allow the Great Physician to do it. God wants to heal and restore. Your future needs a WHOLE you!
Whatever your wound looks like (whether it is/was a parent, a friend, expectations, family, a type of abuse, mishandling, betrayal, church hurt, etc...), God can heal you. But first, you must admit that you are still hurting and allow yourself to feel. Some of us have grown numb to the pain. It has caused us to become toxic without even realizing it. That's not you. Remember, you are not what you went through!!!
It hasn't been easy. Sometimes I feel like not dealing with it, but I'm reminded I'm not alone. You are not alone!! Jehovah Rapha, our God who heals, is with you.
Let the healing power of God flow to every mind and heart that will read this blog!!! Let the emotional healing begin and believe that the delivering power of God is reaching you. He rescues His children from the grips of hell. Hell has no power over a child of God. I decree and declare that you will be whole; emotionally and physically. You no longer will be tormented in your mind. And I sense someone has been losing sleep over what happened to them. Hear me, I'm so sorry you had to go through what you did, but know God sees and He cares. Let Him heal you completely!!!
God is not like humans. He's perfect in all His ways. As humans, we are flawed and that's okay. Our creator is flawless and loves us with an everlasting love.
Be healed, be free!!!
John 8:36 NIV
So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free.
I love you, my Redeemers. See y'all in the next blog. Stay safe.
