It’s good to be able to face our own weaknesses or we won’t be known for who we really are. If we don’t deal with our woundedness we will transmit our pain to others around us. The enemy of course lies to us and tells us we can’t trust God and we can do a better job of providing our own needs. He may even tell us that no one can love us after certain things we have done. The truth is God loves us in our brokenness and wants to make us whole. If we were raised in homes where we never felt loved and secure, we will have a harder time being vulnerable and believe that God could love us in our woundedness and sinfulness. We all have hurts of things done to us or wounds of absence where love and security has not been given. But things don’t have to remain that way for the Lord can bring healing and even rewire our neural pathways. We can change the way we think and feel as we open ourselves up to healing from the Lord.
Maybe as you are reading this you feel unloved and homeless but it can be the very bridge that becomes a secure attachment to the Lord. Or perhaps you have been harmed by others and your needs not met, but those things can put you in the place of reaching out for healing by God and others. If you feel hopeless and like a victim it is an invitation to surrender yourself to God’s power and love.
The Lord doesn’t leave us alone and forsaken but helps us focus on what is true and to find healing in Him… even to the point of rewiring neural pathways where we think differently and come to rest in His love.
