Trauma tends to alter who God intentionally called us to be. It leaves wounds and a whirlwind of pain. Pain that overshadows everything you knew, pain that blinds you.
Trauma misconstrues your identity, it literally takes your peace and exchanges it with anxiety. It can cause you to shut down, it can cause your heart to harden and your faith to crumble under the weight of brokenness.
Even more, trauma can cause you to miss God. It can close off your sensitivity to His voice and presence. I’m a whole witness! Talk about lonely and scary!
However, I found out that if we invite God into our chaos, He’ll take over, and things begin to change for the good.
As your barriers come down, His divine wisdom and love begins to work together. Rerouting, reclaiming, and transforming you into the person He called you to be. Although it’s a process, and there are times we can’t see past our pain, He’s at work.
Those ashes of yours, are never wasted. He has them intertwined with His purpose. Molding your heart, healing your scars, revealing His love for you , and your identity. He changes your story into something so beneficial to His kingdom, something so wholesome, something lasting.
As He calms the waves of your storm, as His light penetrates the darkness, and as your heart begins to mend, you’ll see the big picture. You’ll come truly know the purpose of the pain and use it to help others overcome.
This my friends happens when you’re healed. This is Divine deliverance! Being made whole in Him! It’s not an easy walk and there is some pain in the healing. But it’s beautiful, so, so beautiful.
Embrace it!❤️ 😭
