For someone to be productive in the kingdom, the first thing God does is to heal our hearts, those wounds that we sometimes carry and that are so hard to erase.
Recently I was thinking that there was a certain reason that every attitude has consequences, simply because we are human, for example I am the kind of person who does not put accents to people, even with their defects I always give 100%, I am not of those who say: I can not give everything because it is always good to keep something, I do not know if it is good or bad, what is that has the disadvantage that we get hurt or disappointed more likely.
Although we are Christians, we know that there are things that the only way to transform them is to give them to God, I had a very nice friendship, and I gave everything, my time, my thoughts, my heart, but that person disappointed me, in the most difficult moment of My life turned its back on me, I remember that I suffered a lot, I examined my behavior every day I asked God for forgiveness, if I had done something wrong, and with the passage of time I thought it had been forgotten.
One day this person appeared, and at that moment the tears of those days also appeared, the pain of those wounds, and the saddest thing yet, is that my heart was not the same, the first thing I could think is that I will never be able to trust again someone who hurt me without reason. It is there where I could also know, that those wounds had not been healed, and that it was the right time to deliver him to Jesus once more.
When God says of someone, he gives a word to our lives no matter how much they hurt you, that word will always be fulfilled, he knows one of the things Jesus said is that he gave his life for his friends, all those people who have a friendship sincere, take care of it, it is a precious treasure.
[The Lord] restores the brokenhearted and covers
with bandages his wounds.
-Psalm 147: 3,
Can a woman who has been deeply wounded be healed either by circumstances in his life or by a person to whom loved and trusted? Can your heart be healed and his soul? Can you love and trust again?
Just as our body may be sick, so our soul may be sick, but God wants to heal us in all areas where we are injured, including our soul.The soul consists of the mind, the will and the emotions; is the inner part of us, and a very important part. Without import what we have materially or how good they are our circumstances in life, if we have been hurt, beaten, and our soul bleeds, we will not enjoy life. Be that our pain comes from shame, bitterness, depression, doubt, insecurity, guilt or fear, that's something that you have to confront and address.
Fortunately, our history does not have to be our destiny. I often say: "I did not have a good start in life, but I am determined to have a good ending!". If you have a wounded soul and need healing, I pray that you make that same decision and make the same statement.
A healthy heart, without deep and bleeding wounds, without painful scars, is a principle, foundation of the inner peace of the individual and of his emotional balance, which regulates and orients his relationships with himself and also his relationships with others, and with God.
Many healthy hearts, without wounds that bleed, without scars that are inflamed again and again, make communities peaceful, supportive, integrated, mature, able to solve their problems and face all their differences, without resorting to violence that destroys everything that touches; communities able to go beyond themselves and the facts of their history, to find new directions and to establish new purposes.
To heal the heart is to heal the whole life, to build society, to work for the peace that we all long for and seek, and which is born in our own heart, where God dwells, as a wonderful gift of his goodness, which we have to make grow, bear fruit and expand.
But to reach the healing of the heart, to heal the soul, to heal life, is not easy; on the contrary, sometimes it is more difficult than we can imagine, because there are very deep and ancient wounds that have become chronic and constantly hurt. However, it is perfectly possible, it just takes a bit of goodwill, a clear decision to achieve it, and a good deal of personal effort on our part, and, of course, also the help of God that can not be missed, because He is the best doctor and also the best psychologist. In Him and with Him it is possible to overcome all pain, all suffering however great and profound, and give it a superior sense.
One of the things that I want to focus on these next days is the healing of our heart, I have understood that we can not be happy carrying loads in the soul.
Healing the heart, the soul, life, is a process that develops step by step; part of our firm will to achieve it, and requires us to struggle, effort, tenacity and constancy so as not to give up before the difficulties that present themselves to us with more frequency and greater strength than we wish.
It requires accepting and forgiving and neither is easy, because both require us to be humble, and humility is a virtue that costs, because it asks us to get off the pedestal on which we place ourselves, and that makes us feel somehow superior to others, to place ourselves in the place that we corresponds, at the same level as the others. But when we are able to do it, when we truly forgive, with our hearts, with our bowels, in God's way, our life is completely renewed and we makes fuller, more true, closer to what God wanted for all his children, from the beginning of time.
May these words and those that they arouse in each of those who read this message, positively motivate us all and help us:
1.- Give meaning to the sufferings that we suffer - those that we have in the present and those that come -, and then to heal the wounds of our own heart, forgiving ourselves, the
others, and forgiving to life what we feel is wrong and that makes us suffer.
2.- To assume with courage and love what we can not change in our personal history and in the history of the world;
3.- Always seek and in all the inner peace and the healthy coexistence with those who are close, forgiving what we have to forgive;
4.- And also to be promoters of forgiveness and reconciliation in the social group in which each one of us develops: in our family, in our place of work, among our friends and neighbors, so that one day the true fraternity that Jesus - our redeemer, sent by the Father - will become a reality among us I teach.
