Redemptive Healing

For many years, I have struggled with deep hurts and only through His healing have I been able to grow and thrive.  Yet, there are still and may always be remnants of the scars.  The important thing is that I allow Him full control of my life and hand over each hurt as He brings them to mind.  He will redeem everything we bring Him and use it for His glory and blessing for others if we allow Him to.

As I wrote in my journal this morning, I felt the Lord was sharing the following message with me:

 

"You can trust Me.  It is not true that you were a mistake, a failure, unwanted.  I do not make mistakes or failures and you were and are, and always will be wanted by Me.  You were depised for not being a boy, not touched for years, shunned when you wanted even the most natural and normal things such as a hug or kiss or an I love you.  This has scarred you deeply.  Your parents made a mess of handling you.  They were not able to deal with their own lives, much less provide a stable and nurturing atmosphere for you.  Yet, you still love them both.  There are many tangled emotions, but I am untangling each one and pouring the oil of healing on your life.  This same oil of healing is an anointing to share this word with others who have experienced similar things.  I am making a way out of the dark past and bringing light into areas long repressed.  Do not fear the sudden emotions that come, for I am in control.  This is a part of the healing.  I am showing you great and mighty truths that will help so many as you share them. Go in peace, for I the Lord your God am healing and guiding you.”

I pray that this message might also ring true in many scarred and broken hearts and lives.  You are loved, wanted and not a failure.  Be at peace, for He wants to make you whole and use the brokenness to bring healing to others.
In Christ's love,
