From Brokenness To Wholeness

I find myself always speaking on the importance of healing. So, many times we walk around broken getting into relationships that end up broken with other broken people. A valuable lesson I have learned is never enter a relationship broken or get in a relationship with someone who is.Why do I say this? I say this because when you do this you create an unhealthy dynamic. You put too much expectations on that person to be your savior when the only savior you should have is Jesus Christ! He is the one who got up on a cross and died for you not that person. They are only human. They will only be able to bear your brokenness for so long before they walk away. Allow God to heal your brokenness.

So, often our brokenness stems back from childhood, it stems from multiple bad relationships, it stems from the way we see ourselves instead of the way God sees us. Hurt people truly do hurt people but when you come to a place of healing you no longer cause pain to others. At the same time you learn not to accept it from others as well. When you walk into your healing it changes your life. When God changes your pain to joy and shows you your identity in Him you learn your value. You must understand that this healing is continuous and involves constant forgiveness from your past and your present. Forgiveness is the key to your healing! Forgiveness is not an emotion it is an action. You just do it. Set yourself free from the pain and forgive otherwise you give those who hurt you the power to keep you in bondage. Walk in your freedom and be healed. The word of God says that by His stripes you are healed!(Isaiah 53:5)

I encourage the women and men in my ministry to seek God and be open with Him about their pain. It is okay to grieve the pain. It is okay to feel weak, rejected, abandoned, and hopeless but DO NOT stay there! You have to get back up again and fight. Don't allow the storms of life to drown you. You have a God given purpose that you MUST fulfill. Yes, I am a wife, yes I am a mother, but I also have a purpose God put me on this earth to serve and I have to walk into that purpose in it's fullness. The world does not stop because I am hurting or facing a raging storm. No, I have to throw on my full armor of God (Ephesians 6) and stand on what God told me to do. It would cost me too much to get distracted. It will cost YOU too much to get distracted. Whatever it is, only you know...do what God has purposed for you.  However, please walk into your healing! Don't fight the healing process. Being whole is something you deserve to be! You should want to be at a place of wholeness. After all, what has a life of brokenness got you? Nothing but pain and misery. Allow God to step in and deliver you from that anger, the rage, resentment, bitterness, depression, oppression, the destructive behavior, whatever your struggle is allow God to heal you. He can do it. He did it for Me!!!

There are things that I face now that if I had to face them last year this time it would have sent me off the cliff but now I see it for what it is, a distraction from my purpose! So, I pick up my cross like Jesus. He had every opportunity to come down from the cross and not die for our sins because of the pain He was enduring. Like Jesus I have every right to step down from my cross because of the pain but if I step down at what cost? What lives will be affected? I trust God to guard my heart and to fulfill His will for my life. I see what He is already doing and I am just amazed. I have not even seen the fullness of what God is preparing me to do but I feel the greatness and I see the greatness He has connected me to. I have a gift and a heart that supersedes what I had imagined my purpose to be.God gifted me with a greater purpose and I am watching the fruit bearing daily. Please, if you truly want to see God's glory manifest into your life let Him bring healing into your life!

God bless and blog with you later....Smooches =)
