Injury

Do you ever get caught up in your injuries? Going over and over all the things that have been done to you? Resentment and bitterness sprouting like mold on forgotten food, hidden so far back in the corner that you are completely unaware of it's inception. Til it gets bigger.

A barb here, a snide comment there, until fury finally overtakes and all hell breaks loose and you live for days in complete and utter misery...dare I say weeks or maybe even years.

Healing is arduous work. It takes patience, prayer and perseverance. It's not for light weights and there's really no rushing the process.

Ask for wisdom and discernment to truly know what is at the root of your animosity and when He reveals it, and He will if you listen well, pray for grace both for you and for your relationships. To be able to receive it and extend it.

Pray for a soft, malleable heart open to the Holy Spirit's truth.

Pray for the courage to change to look more like Him, walk more like Him, be more like Him.

It will change your world.

"Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God."
Ephesians 4:31 - 5:2
