We must deal with our pain head on

What is denied cannot be healed

We need to learn to deal with our pain and wounds head on instead of trying to run from them. I tried to “hide” from the pain of my father wound when he walked out of our home when i was 12 years old. I spent 25 years trying to numb the pain, so I didn’t have to confront it.



Then, when I was finally tired of running, I admitted my pain and brokenness, and I invited Jesus into my life and asked Him if He was real, could He please heal my pain and He did! He allowed me to forgive my father and be set free, as He told me how He had forgiven my sins and He carried no more judgment against me. Wow- “where the spirit of the Lord is there is freedom” ( 2 Corinthians 3:17 ) indeed! So stop running and  give Jesus your burdens ( Matthew 11:28 ) He is the Great Physician and He alone can heal you at the root cause of your pain! Whatever your pain is, don't hide from it any longer. What is denied cannot be healed. It needs o be brought into the light.
