healing-the-past

You may think that hiding your pain from sight is somehow going to make it disappear. I can tell you from experience that it isn__. It is just like the time as a kid when you really didn__ want to eat your greens. If you hid them underneath a piece of furniture, sooner or later your mum would discover them because all she had to do was follow the smell. Just like the broccoli, hidden issues begin to smell if they are not brought out into the open air. There is no escape.

Temporary, but excruciating, pain is the price of healing.

There are parts of a woman__ heart that are reserved for certain types of love. Experiencing the love of a father figure in an appropriate way is essential in paving the way for the love of a man to be experienced in the right way.The love of a father is vital in ensuring that a woman__ heart is kept open in this area. If this area is not kept open, it produces problems later on in a woman__ life, for that area is also reserved for the romantic love that comes in the form of a marriage relationship. This is an extremely sensitive area of the heart for a woman, and has plenty of opportunity to be easily bruised. When that does occur, she will put up a protective barrier to try and avoid any such pain occurring again. If this barrier isn__ dismantled fairly soon, a woman__ heart becomes accustomed to its protective barrier, and the heart shielded inside gradually becomes hardened. As women, we may be able to function like this for awhile. But there will come a time in your life where God will begin to peel away those hard layers surrounding your heart, and you probably won__ like that sensation. But you have to fight your natural instinct to run away.This is where many Christian women may get stuck. They view every man through the lens of what their father was to them, or what he was not. Their perception of men is shaded, and often damaged, by the very people who should have been modeling the world of adult relationships to their daughters. As a result, their judgement is often clouded, and women find themselves settling for less than what they truly deserve. Many marriages, even Christian marriages, have been damaged and even terminated because one or both partners refused to sit down and deal with their past issues.

But pain's like water. It finds a way to push through any seal. There's no way to stop it. Sometimes you have to let yourself sink inside of it before you can learn how to swim to the surface.

Learn to observe your emotions without needing to act or distract yourself from them. Within that stillness your truest most vulnerable thoughts will arise and it is these thoughts that will show you where your healing work must begin.

Dare to be vulnerable, walk outside without your armor on and say YES to your heart.

I am filled with truth at my center where I once held shame.

If you're still holding the broken pieces of glass & excepting to heal. That won't happen. To heal you first need to drop those pieces. This is how in real life you need to learn the art of letting go things that prevent your heart & soul from healing.

Healing comes in many ways, and no one formula fits all.

Don__ hide your hurt, beautiful soul. Grab a hold of it. Run it through the purifying flame of your heart and mold it into something beautiful. Allow the depths of your pain to expand the breadth of your compassion. Gather up your stumbling stones and build a bridge for someone else. Remember what it__ like to be lost in darkness so you can be someone else__ much needed light. Don__ deny your pain or bury it away. Let it rise to the surface. And then transform it into something that makes it worthwhile.

Don__ feel bad about feeling bad. Don__ be frightened of feeling afraid. Don__ be angry about getting angry. There is no need to give up when we are feeling depressed. Nor should we be dismayed at the grief which often accompanies the outgrowing of anything which needs outgrowing. We can be glad that our soul is speaking to us and pushing us onwards. We frequently need to persevere with a period of inner turmoil before the dust can settle and be swept out the door.

A spiritual reinterpretation of events gives us miraculous authority to command the winds, to part the waters, and to break all chains that bind us.

Self-pity is spiritual suicide. It is an indefensible self-mutilation of the soul.

Healing is your right, your responsibility and the risk you can't afford not to take.

For every spirit who is learning: you heal yourself.

You must have thought more times than you realized "it will hurt".You should know it may. Okay. It may hurt immensely to open you up in your safe, dark space, sporadic light and chaotic air hitting you unlike anything you have known. Sometimes it will feel impossible to swallow. Because finding your way back to you involves telling the truth about oneself while pushing through a field of trees that are all whispering different tones of you.
