In life we are all subject to disappointment and pain, and unfortunately it is often by someone who is close to us and has "access" to our heart and intimate places of our life that causes it. We can become so devastated by the hurt, pain, or betrayal that we become fenced in by those emotions. Well the longer that we CHOOSE to stay in that place of pain the more damage it does to US. If we get a slim splinter in our hand, step on a nail, or break a leg we do not leave it unattended or "in us." Yet we will somehow try to move forward in life with these huge boulders of offenses and unforgiveness lodged in the compartments of our hearts. These things not only prevent us from being emotionally healthy and letting love and peace flow out but they also prevent love and peace from flowing in. We stop peace from penetrating our being by remaining bitter and broken. There is help and hope for the brokenhearted.
First, you must assess the damage. Take a good long look at where you are emotionally as it relates to your offense/betrayal. How long have you had that path clogged shutting off all good life giving properties and love from reaching your heart. Naturally a medical doctor or surgeon must assign a diagnosis before they can ever move forward to enact a remedy. Accurately and honestly diagnose your pain/injury.
Second, you must be willing to allow for some level of pressure/pain before you can get to the resolution. Yes it's going to hurt first before it ever gets better. Whether having to get an IV to inject sedatives, anesthesia, or refreshing fluids that little needle poke that preludes the actual procedure for remedy can cause a minimal amount of pain. Rubbing alcohol which is used sometimes to clean a wound definitely stings but it cleans deeply so the wound can heal right. Some level of pain is normal and should be accepted knowing your full healing/remedy is coming after.
Third, you must patiently wait for the doctor/surgeon to do a complete work. There may be a need to open the wound further to get all the debris out, the wound may need stitching to enable tissues, ligaments, and skin to re-mend. Whatever is required at this reparative level let the experts fix you all the way up. Trust the process.
Forgiveness which is an emotional path of healing is resemblant to this physical or natural path of healing. It requires that you face the pain/injury, assess the pain/injury, penetrate the pain/injury, and then process the pain/injury to reach the awaited solace of peace. Forgiveness IS the path to peace. Choose to forgive those who have hurt you in your past, accept that they were wrong, inconsiderate, or even down right wicked but do not allow them to maintain power over your peace any longer by being a "boulder" occupying space in your heart and emotions. Kick them out by forgiving them. Exchange your pain for peace, you can do it, YOU deserve it. DO IT TODAY!
