3.12.25 - stop hiding

FaithHope

Mar 17

Good morning ,

One of the things I've been working on is being honest with God. I found myself hiding from my real thoughts and feelings. I didn't want to feel them, let alone admit to them, so I just hid them away. Whenever pieces of my feelings popped up, and I didn't want to deal with them, I just shoved them back to their hiding place. It's very unhealthy but that's the truth.

I'm reading a book right now called Broken & Restored by Michael Gay Parker. One of the things that he shared in his book is the lie of "time heals ". I have never believed that. He went on to say that time doesn't heal but the work you do during those times does. Now that I can agree with! So many years have passed that I've just shoved my trauma and pain away hoping it would just go away. Well years later it continues to face me, trigger me and break me down. I got tired of hiding from God. It's quite funny that I thought I could hide to begin with. Nothing is hidden from God (Hebrews 4:13).

I finally came face to face with the fact that I needed healing from a lot more than my abusive relationship. This year I asked God to heal my heart. Little by little he is showing me areas that need to be healed, and I'm trusting that he will bring me complete healing. I encourage you to seek God in the areas that you don't want to face. Free yourself from the shame, anger, resentment and fear by giving it to God. Allow him to walk you through healing and trust that he is there even when you feel like hiding.

It's very hard to write you messages like these because it forces me to be vulnerable, and that's not easy. I don't have it all together. I'm learning daily. I'm finding that God's grace is truly unlimited. His love for us is beyond my understanding. I hope this message helps just one person find freedom in Christ.

I appreciate you being a part of my community. It's always more than skin care :)
