When you keep minimizing what hurt

Psalm 147:3

God heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

When you keep minimizing what hurt. It is easy to sound spiritual until this is the thing sitting in front of you. Sometimes the breakthrough is not a dramatic change in circumstances. Sometimes it is catching the old pattern before you obey it again. Healing does not require pretending it did not hurt. Jesus Christ can meet you in the wound without letting the wound become your identity. Let truth interrupt the reflex before the reflex becomes another chapter.

What are you trying to control because you are afraid to trust God with the outcome?

Lord Jesus Christ, I bring You the part I can explain and the part I cannot. Keep me from reacting out of fear, shame, pride, or loneliness. Teach me to move with You. Amen.
