Face It To Erase It

As a child, when you did not want your food, did you ever cause it to disappear in between the crevices of chairs or in the doggie’s mouth? As a teen, did you try hard to cover your mistakes, and pretend like there were no breaks, quakes or aches? As a grown up, when you do not want to accept, remember or process something, do you park it, deny it, drown it, or bury it? We all fall into the trap of thinking that some situations will just evaporate, disappear or fade away.

But that is not how things go; we have to face things to let them go. Time has taught us that there are no vacuums to remove or store our feelings forever. As long as we do not acknowledge and face our issues properly, they will only get transferred, transmuted or transported around our lives. And with each iteration, they become more complicated for us and those around us.

– Sins are forgiven when we confess them.
– emotional injuries, soul wounds, and church hurts, are peeled off when we allow them to be revealed and healed.
– mess, drama and blockages are cleared up when we clean up.
– issues melt away when we humble ourselves, take them from behind the shelf and seek appropriate help.

“For I am the LORD your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.” Isaiah 41:13

The spring season is upon us now, so let us facilitate our own spring cleaning. Do not waste anymore time fooling yourself or opting for pseudo help. When the issues come back up, suddenly appear, or rise to the surface – do not panic; but take the cue to turn to God and ask for guidance and help. Let this year be your year to properly clean up.

I bless you today to be healed, cleaned and freed in your soul in Q2 2024.
