The Life Model: Living From the Heart Jesus Gave You says this: "The past isn't past until it's healed."
Some old hurts resurfaced in my life this week. These were things I knew weren't really healed, but glossed over...ignored as much as possible. The freshness of the pain surprised me, but I think it's because I've been working on so many other things...this is one of the left-overs.
I have believed that whenever possible I need to try to make amends, talk things out, endeavor to come to an understanding with people, and be able to move on from there. That is a huge challenge in this situation.
Time is what I need: time of solitude to talk to God and listen to His response.
Time to grieve the losses involved in the relationships.
Time to find my true heart around all the issues (writing about it helps me).
Time to feel the healing touch of God on the old wounds.
Thank You, Lord, for reminding me You're still not finished with me, and that I cannot fix anyone else.
