Jesus came to save, bind up our wounds, free
us from captivity and bring us out of darkness-to heal us! For us to heal, we have to bring our hurts to Him... completely
surrendering our entire heart, mind and soul. Bring your wounds in the
light and acknowledge who hurt you; give them into the hands of
Jesus by forgiving the person-releasing what they did to you. Many
believe forgiving is dismissing the harm...but forgiving means you will
no longer carry the offense in your heart. When you verbally give the
release- forgiving the person who caused harm; you allow Jesus to
physically come in your heart and remove the chains that kept you bound
to them. Watch with awe as He carries the chains away. Next, give Jesus
the rest of the hurt, everything that 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, and pushing down
tears. This is grief...the recognition of what was lost, stolen, or
never given. Grief validates what you experienced-it says you matter and
what happened to you mattered. Then, the love of Jesus will come in
like a flood, crashing waves of His healing pouring into every chamber,
crevice and wound...shining His light of love on it and in it, making sure nothing is
overlooked-filling up every area in you, overflowing the sides and
finally... engulfing all of you. Until His love floods us, we are left in
darkness; prisoners of our own lives...captives in our hurt. Let Him love all of you today! (Isa 61:1, Rev 3:20, Jn 7:38) 10/2012CIFL-LMM
