Until
hurt is acknowledged-it's a wound inside of the heart. Minimizing hurt
doesn't make it better nor will it go away on it's own. Making a
decision to heal is uncomfortable-it takes work. Many ignore
hurts-reasoning time has passed & there's nothing that can be done.
It's true, time has passed...but the hurt has not. Until a person
addresses their hurt, they're chained to the past. An unresolved
hurt is as alive as the day it happened, but because it has many layers
of life on it, it's not always identified-this leads people to believe
they got over it. Many don't want to think about the loved one or
trusted person that hurt them...because really, it makes the hurt feel
even worse-it's insult to injury. But until all of the hurt is brought
into the light...complete healing won't happen & moving forward is
impossible.
Minimizing & ignoring hurt keeps the view of the present obscured because thoughts & actions operate from the perspective of the past pain. Jesus came to save, bind up our wounds & free us from captivity-to bring us out of darkness & heal us! Hurts must be brought in the light & handed to Jesus to heal-surrendering your entire heart, mind & soul. Bring the names of each person who hurt you & place them at the cross-forgive each person & then release what they did to you. Until hurt is acknowledged-it's a wound inside of the heart. Minimizing hurt doesn't make it better nor will it go away on it's own. Making a decision to heal is uncomfortable-it takes work.
Many believe forgiving is dismissing the harm... but forgiving means you will no longer carry the harm in your heart. When you verbally give the release... forgiving the person who caused harm-you allow Jesus to physically remove the chains that kept you bound to them & the hurt they imposed. Next, give Jesus all the hurt you experienced-empty yourself of it...purging every last drop. While you're doing this, a flood of emotions will come to you-it's all those years of denying, holding back, minimizing, trying to prove you were good enough & pushing down tears. This is grief-it acknowledges what you lost, what was stolen or never given. Grief validates your hurt-it says you matter & what happened to you mattered. Then the love of Jesus will come in like a flood, crashing waves of His healing into every chamber, wound & opening... shining His light of love making sure nothing is missed...filling up every area in you, overflowing the sides & finally engulfing all of you. Until His love floods you, you're left in darkness-a prisoner of your own life-a captive of your hurt.
Acknowledging hurts, surrendering them to Jesus, forgiving those that imposed the hurt, then grieving is the only way to complete the healing process. People who refuse this process, go through life with wounds in their heart, never experiencing the full promises of God. They impose the care of their wounds onto others; wanting them to make up for the hurt they encountered, but only Jesus can put back in you what was taken by another or restore what was given away or give you what you didn't get. But you're not left without hope...you're guaranteed to overcome & be completely restored. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom! The love of Jesus is waiting to restore you... completely-healing every hurt you ever experienced. Will you receive His love & let Him heal completely heal you?
