“For the most part I honestly think that we mask over every bit of emotion..feelings..and truthfully what is happening in our lives..Amen..we cover up who we are..what we’ve been through..and we overlook it to the point of always staying busy..or being entertained by our phones..or some movie..or the radio..talking on the phone..we just do something always it seems to as I say not settle in long enough to deal with the truth behind the hurt..the pain..the feelings..and emotions it is that we are dealing with..the trauma..the anger..the sadness..everything..we never stop when the Lord brings things to surface..we just blow them off..instead of facing them..we simply bury them..and in our minds we think well if I don’t face it..or deal with it..sooner or later it will go away these feelings and things that are happening in me and in my life..Amen..but that is not what happens..what happens is that we simply begin shutting down in our lives..in our hearts in our minds..and really to the point where we don’t want to face anything..we walk away from it all..instead of moving directly into the thing or things that have been revealed to us..Amen..so this morning I must ask do you find your place to simply be quiet?..to be still before the Lord?..Psalm 37:7..and to deal with what is happening in you and your life?..because we carry baggage from childhood..Matthew 11:28-29..Amen..and have you ever noticed that is what people will talk about..they’ll talk about their childhood and what happened to them there..and how their lives went..or how they were treated..what things were said..if their parents ever acknowledged them..if they felt good enough..Amen!”

“So what happens in your childhood you carry with you into adulthood..Amen..and whatever way you dealt with it then that may have served you then..is not the way you should deal with things now..because now it is not serving you any longer..it is sabotaging you and your life..and your ministry..Amen..so again life is about us growing and changing..it is dealing with you when things happen..your response..your feelings..your emotions..it is being still before the Lord and asking Him to reveal to you what it is that needs to be dealt with..whether that is loneliness..fear..shame..guilt..abandonment..and the list goes on and on..because always staying busy and not recognizing you and who you are and how you are treating others by the life that you have been handed and gave..is a place as to where you are carrying things that never needed to be carried with you any longer..so only God and you can work it out..only God can heal every hurt and feeling that you have been given in life..Jeremiah 17:14/Jeremiah 33:6..Amen..and then true healing begins when we acknowledge it for what it is and we begin the process of forgiving the wrongs..letting go of the hurt and shame..and accepting the Lord and His love to heal us..and wash over us in every area of our lives..Amen..because without it we will live a miserable life indeed..we will never rise to be what we truly need to be without it..so let us be still long enough to face our lives..other than running away from them..and other then making excuses and placing blame..Amen..so let us be free and free indeed with the Lord..in all areas of our lives from the top of our heads to the soles of our feet..I pray for complete and divine healing to wash over us all..Hebrews 9:22..Amen..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤️
