Don't live one more day...chanined to the past!

Don't live one more day chained to the past! Minimizing, ignoring or blaming something or someone for unresolved hurt keeps a person chained to the experiences that hurt them. Time passes-hurts don't. Unresolved hurt keeps a person from living in the present because they live life... through their past pain. Until the pain is resolved-they're chained to the past. Hurt is as alive as the day it happened, but it's not always identified-it has many layers of life on it. Old hurt is misplaced & disguised as other issues & will manifest in relationships as disappointment, suspicion of others motives & a need to prove one's worth-it can also lead to anxiety, anger, depression & phobias. Old hurt lingers-it shows up as a vague emptiness that a person can't put their finger on, an unidentified uneasiness or & a general sense of feeling wrong on the inside. A person will unknowingly attribute their feelings to other people or even worse…believe the lie that this is all there is to life! Old hurt distorts perception-keeping the view of the present obscured. Ask Jesus to search your heart & show you what you've not dealt with; get with a pastor, bible centered process group or Christian counselor if the old hurt continues to resurface. Jesus came to save us-bind up our wounds & bring us out of darkness! No job, person, status, relationship or good works can heal you...only Jesus can give back to you what was taken or given away & give you what you should have received. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom! Will you make the decision to walk out the freedom promised to you & fulfill the destiny God planned for you?
