Healing

While I don't know all of you personally, I would bet that all of you have experienced some type of hurt in your life. For many, it could be as deep as sexual abuse as a child, a parent who left or maybe just wasn't there emotionally, or betrayal by a friend. The list of possible hurts is endless. However, our Father in heaven has seen them all. Not only has He seen them all, He has felt them all. Every time you have cried and felt nobody cared, He saw your tears and His heart broke for your pain. When that person was abusing you, He was crying and shouting NO! She's my daughter. Yet, He also saw your abuser and cried for the path they chose because they are His child too.

Many people live in denial and shame because of their past. The greater the hurt, the deeper the shame. Some of you may even blame yourselves for things that happened that were beyond your control.

My precious sister, it's time to let it go. It's time to let go of the shame and start letting those wounds heal. If a physical wound is covered without attention, it will become infected and eventually affect the rest of the body and could even cause death. The same is true for our emotional wounds. Without dealing with them, they fester. They are toxic to our souls. Without allowing forgiveness to enter, we can never experience the freedom and joy Christ died to give us.


"Then they were on the road. They preached with joyful urgency that life can be radically different; right and left they sent the demons packing; they brought wellness to the sick, anointing their bodies, healing their spirits." Matthew 6:12 MSG


I pray today is the day you choose to send those demons packing and let Christ in to heal your spirit!


I've added this link to an amazing song by Matthew West. I pray it ministers to you today:
