Has life ever traumatized you? Just as the body can be traumatized or wounded, so can the psyche, the emotional, and the mental aspects of a person. The wounding of the psyche is real and impacts a person’s feelings of security, well-being, and dignity, beliefs around ourselves, and even our will to live.
Jesus feels your sorrows and as your High Priest has a supernatural ability to sympathize with your weaknesses (Hebrews 4:15). He is intimately acquainted with the things that hurt you. Jesus is capable of empathizing completely with your condition and your past wounding. If it bothers you, it bothers Him. If it hurts you, it hurts Him.
Jesus wants to heal every place you hurt. He wants to heal your hurting heart and restore your fractured mind. God wants you to have emotional balance and to raise your self-esteem. He wants you whole in every way.
Trauma changes us. Healing also changes us. In fact, God turns trauma around for our good. What once was so exceedingly painful and horrible can become, by God’s power, a driving force that produces positive results! God’s ultimate plan for you is always good. He has an appointed time for healing everything negative that you have been through in your past. It doesn’t matter what happened, when it happened, or where it happened. He is here to heal you now.
Wounding was an event; healing is a process. And forgiveness is the first step in your healing process. Ask God to forgive you of your sins, including the things you have done to yourself. Also ask God to heal you of what you could not prevent and never deserved. Ask Him to give you the grace to forgive those who have sinned against you and allow the love and acceptance of Jesus to heal your broken heart and make you whole.
The second step in healing is to choose to receive God’s forgiveness in your life and move forward. Do not let guilt hold you back from everything God has for you. He forgives you completely, and you need to completely forgive yourself.
Third, as you heal, you will need to bury what is dead. Leave what is “over.”
Fourth, in the process of healing, you must get up and go on. Get on with what God has for you! You must decide to say “yes” to the future He holds out to you. Who knows the abundance of life He has designed for you? You won’t know unless you rise up and walk toward your future.
nice one aphrodite…sakto jud ka… =) nahuman na nako tanang process… =) ako na buried tanan kasakit..(char!) but.. aphrodite, what would you do if someone dug that grave? what if someone would give a damn about my past?..hhehehe..
its a very long process KC. Expect it to bother you again even if you thought you’ve already completely moved on. But its okay..you’ll just have to learn how to be good at ignoring those people or probably things that would remind you of the pain. You’ll just have to stay focused and decide to be healed and be okay inside and out.
If there’s someone who would dare dig it, dont mind him/her. Your past is past.And that person has no right or whatsoever to bother you with it. (Pasagdai na siya, envious or jealous lang cguro na with you! heheheh….). Just shake it off! ;p

Thank for touching our life in a simple way. You may not know it, but you really did. ‘Coz for me, it seems that life is only made up of things to worry about. Life has many disappointments for all of us … death, illnesses, betrayals, tragedies, and feelings of worthlessness and despair. Sometimes life can seem so very grim, and so many times we tend to wallow in pools of self-pity.
But I believe that our time here on earth gives us the opportunity to grow spiritually. We can experience much personal growth because of all the suffering, worries, and difficulties we have to go through during our mortal lives. It is God’s way of fine-tuning us so we become more compassionate, more caring, more loving, and more aware of others’ pain. After all, how could we ever dry the tears of others if we had never cried ourselves?
