The things that we have experienced in life will cause us to suffer from spiritual blindness. It will affect the way we see God and the things that he is doing in our lives. Scripture tells us that weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning encouraging us to let go of some things quickly. Not to say that what happened didn’t hurt, but it doesn’t have to keep hurting. Some pains we are still holding on to because we feel we are entitled to, and the reason being is that we have made it a part of who we are. So, we wear the scars instead of being healed and held by the Savior. When you deal with deep pain only God can heal a broken heart. Things of the world can’t fix it, and the people in the earth can’t aid in what they can’t see . In most instances, they add to it. They do things against you that build onto the pain that is already present. God is a healer and a wonderful counselor that will cause us to overcome what has come. On this journey of life, we can get so buried under burdens that it becomes hard for us to strive and even stay alive. (1ST Peter 5:7) says that we can cast all our cares upon the Lord because he cares for us. God’s grace is what carries us through life’s storms when we are out of our norm. In those times of uncertainty, we can call on a Savior that will help us and navigate us through the darkness by his marvelous light. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. He is the light that came to destroy the works of the darkness. The promises of God can literally be occurring in our face, and the pain that we experienced will keep us entangled by the thoughts of the past that we miss what God is doing in the present. God hasn’t reneged on his promises because we have experienced pain or disappointment in the process. We are still capable of achieving the greater work that Jesus promised before his departure. We must believe in his work and his capabilities despite our own fears. Many times, it’s us and the things that we have experienced that hold us back from the breakthrough that we need. God is willing to take whatever burden that we are willing to part with. The Lord loves us with his whole heart, that is why he asks us to love him the same. “Love the Lord with all your mind, all of your heart, and all of your strength. When all of you are in Christ Jesus then the enemy has nothing to hold you down and keep you bound because he has nothing on Jesus. Being in pain will become a big distraction to the promises that God has for you. ( For I know the plans that I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.) Jeremiah 29:11. Physical pain and crushed spirits will have you questioning rather than rejoicing.
God is calling us to live a set free life, but we cannot live in what we won’t allow to take place. Healing all wounds comes from God. We must come to him and forgive those that caused us pain and make a choice and force ourselves not to live in the offense. Letting go of the offense is one of the difficult choices that we must endure in order to take back the freedom that Christ provided. It is possible and you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. One day at a time.
