Hurtful Experiences....

Happy Wednesday! Did their actions hurt you? Did their words wound you? Do you feel like you have suppressed your thoughts and feelings? Guess what......you may never erase the thoughts of the words they said or the things you witnessed with your eyes. However, there is something beautiful about moving forward. Don’t allow their actions to hold your mind and thoughts hostage.

My friend, I know it hurts, but you must move through the healing process. Holding the thoughts in your heart and mind will keep you paralyzed. It will not allow you to be free in your heart, in your thoughts and in your mind. I encourage you to start the healing process today. I encourage you to move and be released of the hurt and pain. Guess what? The person who hurt you has moved on, so it’s time for you to do the same. You may never get the truth. They may never apologize. They may never acknowledge their actions. They may deny everything that they did to you. Don’t allow them to tell you when it’s time to move forward, but you can’t stay there. Believe me, I know it hurts. It feels like they took your last breath and it feels like your heart is broken beyond repair. But there is healing on the other side of the pain.

You have to do the work necessary to get to the other side. When your mind starts to wander, replace those thoughts with what God’s word says about you. You are loved by God! He sees your heart and He cares about you! Don’t ever think you are in this journey alone. Know that God is with you every step of the way. Breathe, do the work, be free and be healed. The other side of this pain will be beautiful. For every tear you’ve shed, for every anxious thought, for every question you’ve asked yourself, for every time you’ve asked yourself why, God wants to give you beauty for ashes. He wants you to believe your journey will be beautiful again. You will be able to smile again, love again, breathe again and trust again! All of us have experienced hurt by those who we thought we never hurt us. Don’t cover up the wound with a bandage, because it could become infected. Infection leads to the wound spreading. My sister and my friend, God wants to heal you! I encourage you today to do the work that is necessary in your healing process. Choose to heal and choose to be free from the people, places and things that caused hurtful experiences. Have an amazing day and always remember that you are loved! Until Friday.....Lady T
