For so many, it seems they remain held in bondage in their lives. Is it because God hasn’t freed them? Is it because He hasn’t mended their broken hearts? Is it because He didn’t hear or answer? I would say no to every one of these questions. It’s not that God hasn’t freed us, or that God hasn’t heard or answered us, because He does and He has. He promises us that He alone is our freedom and the complete mender of our broken hearts and minds. (Psalm 147:3) says God mends the broken hearts. It says that God answers our prayers. (1 John 5:14-15) and (Job 22:27) affirm this. Before a word is on our lips, God already knows. (Psalm 19:14) and (Psalm 139:4) confirm this. But the problem is us. The problem is that we continue to hold ourselves in the hurt, in the pain, in the yesterdays of our lives, and in what others have done or said to us. Somehow, that’s how we keep ourselves in bondage. Instead of living in the present, we decide to dig up everything from the past.
We don’t leave anything out. Isn’t it funny that we can’t remember many things, but we can recall all the bad things like they are nothing? So, this is my thought and my heart for each and every one of us: start making new wholesome memories in your life. Start talking about the good that God has done for you. Quit talking about the bad things that have happened to you and quit playing the role of a victim. Believe me, each of us has had hurts, pains, and disappointments in our lives. That’s why they say to be kinder than necessary because everyone is going through something, has been through something, or is getting ready to go through something. We can help ourselves by helping ourselves. The first place to begin is to quit talking about the past, especially when discussing bad memories. When we talk about terrible ones, it makes us emotional and takes us back to that place and time where we feel the hurt and pain all over again. It’s not that God hasn’t healed us; we hurt ourselves by bringing that mess back up again and again. Recalling it over and over is not good for any of us.
The word of God says that death and life are in the power of our tongues, and they that love it will eat the fruit thereof. (Proverbs 18:21). So, if you want to eat good fruit in your life, start talking about good things instead of all the bad things. Set a watch, O Lord, over my mouth. (Psalm 141:3). The enemy wants us to be in bondage, to be hurt, and to never be free of those things. But we can and will be when we stop hurting ourselves with conversations that are not good for you, me, or anyone else. Speak well, and you will live well. I believe that with everything in me. For the word says out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. (Luke 6:45). And as a man thinks, so is he. (Proverbs 23:7). Have a blessed day and live a blessed life, for it is in Jesus’ name that I 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.
