Some of us may be having very deep emotional wounds that is proving too painful to heal. We may have been abused, mistreated, or felt unloved as a child. Our growing up may have witnessed domestic abuse both violent and verbal by parents or guardians.
Even as adults, we may be going through series of unfair treatment, being constantly misunderstood, wrong accusations and shouting down by haters.
We may have trusted or deeply loved people who have been unfaithful, betrayed you, or even turned against you, all of which may have left us excruciatingly hurting or painfully wounded.
These emotional wounds would have inflicted great injury on our sense of worth, identity and security. The effect on our mind could also be self-condemning, self justifying or blame chase. Whichever applies, undoubtedly, must have left us feeling hurt, heaviness, loss, grief, anger, possibly resentment and fierce desire for revenge towards those we consider responsible.
How very quick to say 'I've let go!, I've forgiven!' when actually our wounds are still dripping with bitter pores and bleeding sore. We may have pushed down these painful emotions by denying they exist or suppressing them altogether.
We cannot afford to continue assuming they are no longer there; they are still alive, buried deep within, we have not allowed ourselves to be healed.
Hey! Sis, stop trying to forget it and hoping that time will heal it. Using scripture repetitively isn't the solution either. YOU NEED GOD'S HEALING TOUCH.
Only Jesus Christ can do that for you. No formula or therapy can deal with your heartache. There is no solution in Yoga or any form of meditation. Temporary relief is even worse as the dark stark reality of your wound will be progressing with every stage of your life.
You need to speak openly to Jesus, only to Jesus alone. The only physician Who heals the soul. That is the work He came to do. (Read Isaiah 61:1-3).
Tell him the story (even though He knows already) but crying out to Him reveals your desire to have Him work on you. Tell him honestly that you are hurting, angry, feeling revengeful and deeply bitter. It is OK to cry, but after this, I know in Jesus' name, you will not have to cry over this again. The Lord has been waiting for such a long time for you to admit your helplessness and cry out to Him and allow healing to happen. It was possible for Jesus to forgive those who nailed Him to the Cross while in the pain, he cried out to the Father to forgive them. (Luke 23:34)
Get rid of your hurt for your own sake. You have been held down for too long. It has drained you of spiritual, physical and emotional energy. You have been damaged enough. Those who hurt you aren't feeling a thing. They've moved on. IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO MOVE ON!
Releasing the people to God frees you. Your healing begins and the Lord starts the work of restoration. RESTORATION begins to happen for you as you forgive and let go. God sees in you His nature and character; He is able to bring full recovery of all that had been taken away from you.
This process may bring back painful memories and fresh hurt but you will definitely feel HIS healing touch upon you instantly, and gradually in the days ahead you will experience the healing and full healing that only our CHRIST JESUS can bring.
Remember, you are loved.
