All of us at one point or another have or may experience something that may be difficult for us to forgive or let go of. Unfortunately, these situations if we don’t learn how to control them can cause pain, resentment, anger, frustration or even a feeling to want to get even with those who hurt us or offend us.
This quote explains it so clearly of how important it is to take care of the wounds that we have in our lives. Just as we would with a regular wound, we would clean it, disinfect it, put a healing ointment on it and cover it until it is fully healed and until there’s no sign that it was even there in the first place. But, this healing process takes time when it involves our physical wounds and it is the same when we’re trying to heal the wounds within ourselves. We have to be patient and try to do our best each day to heal ourselves and let things go for our own good and inner peace.
We can clean our wounds by trying to see things for how they really, and not making a bigger deal out of our situations. We disinfect our wounds by realizing that NONE OF US are perfect, that the mistakes of others are part of the imperfections we will have to experience in this life. We must also recognize honestly with ourselves that we are imperfect too!
Luke 6: 41 says;
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye,
but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
This is when we realize how important it is to keep the focus on healing and taking care of ourselves first! To not focusing on the “faults” of others, what they said or did etc. but instead, focus on what we can do for our own selves. The last part of disinfecting our wounds fully, even though this may be painful or really hard in some cases, is to DO GOOD to them that hate us and despitefully use us!
Luke 6:35-37
But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
It is cleansing and healing to do good, our hearts will be softened and we will feel great from doing good to others. even when its hard…We are capable of doing it. 🙂
And last but not least in the healing process is to cover the wound. That means we STOP talking about it! and we specially STOP thinking about it!!! Every time we think about it it robs us of our present time and it drains and steals our energy of today!!! Instead what we should do is that if the thoughts come into our minds we must replace them quickly! We can say, i’m trying to heal myself and the best thing to do right now is to not think about it…but instead focus on God’s plan for me and giving my energy to all that is good in my life right now, focusing on accomplishing my goals, aspirations and the type of person I want to be when I see God again after this life! <3
The time to heal is now! It’s time for us to LET GO!!! <3 To love ourselves enough to not continue to hurt ourselves by thinking about the past! but instead learn those lessons, move on, and heal the wounds FULLY! We are totally able and fully capable to forgive and let go completely! It’s possible!!! Plus, We’re not alone! God wants us to learn this important attribute in our lives. He will help us!…specially cause none of us want to show up to his presence knowing that we’re still carrying things that affect us, that we’re holding grudges from people who hurt us etc! It’s time to let Go and heal ourselves now! God will help our hearts heal! His power is real to help us! We have to put in the work, take care of ourselves and He will help us with the rest. I hope that we all have a stronger desire to forgive, to let things go and to look for the peace that our lives need daily!
Our Spirtiual Goal is to Stop thinking about about it…heal ourselves, forgive and LET GO! Try it for this week! keep your thoughts focused on meaningful things and see how you feel. <3
Our physical goal for the week is to do something physical for ourselves at least 3 days this week! a walk, run, or anything that feels good for you!! <3
Have a blessed and wonderful day!!! Do your best to take care of yourself in every way! <3 We will have class tonight from 7:15 to 8:30 to get rid of stress, tone, and meditate. & please don’t forget that this class is for everyone! we’re there to do our very best and we’re all here to support each other on our journey! We’re not there to compare ourselves but to help ourselves! We are all sisters andthe class is meant to help us do a little bit better today, physically, emotionally and spiritually.
