You Can Choose To Be Healed

You can choose to be healed in your emotions and mind today.

We continue our talk on emotional healing and wholeness. And I shall be building on the foundation I laid the previous day.

Jesus called the Holy Spirit Comforter. The Spirit of God is our Comforter. And He lives right in our heart. When you are brokenhearted, know that the Holy Spirit lives right in the centre of that brokenness. He lives with and feels your hurt and pain. He isn’t ashamed of your brokenness. Neither is He depressed by it. No!

Hear what the Spirit of God said, “I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God and they shall be my people.”
(2Corinthians 6:16).
He is patrolling and monitoring the boundaries of your heart, searching for any breach or tear, to fix it. Bringing you relief and soothing your pain is the Spirit’s covenant commitment. The Holy Spirit is aware of your pains, and He wants, above all, to make you whole again.

However, He needs your active participation. He needs your cooperation. The Holy Spirit wants you to exercise your power of choice. For anything can happen to you, but you retain the power to choose what to do after it all. You must choose not to hold tightly to the pains of the past. You must choose to move on.

Another choice you will need to make is to change the way you see yourself. You are not powerless. You are not defenseless. And you are not trapped. There’s something you can do. And that is, overcome the victim mentality. God gives strength to the weary. And He binds up the brokenhearted.

Forgiveness or repentance is another choice you should consider making. Forgiveness precedes true healing. This isn’t going to be easy, I must say. However, if you are willing, the Holy Spirit will supply the strength for it. One of the practical steps you may need to consider is to start praying for the person who has wronged you. I have found this to be very effective. For you can’t be praying for someone and at the same time harboring grudges against them.
Apostle James tells us that when we pray for our offenders, our hearts get healed:
“Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed…”
(James 5:16, NIV)
You must choose to ask for forgiveness or offer forgiveness as the case may be. Your healing so much depends on this.

It’s my prayer that you will be willing to take responsibility for your healing, and to take practical steps towards it.

If this blesses you, we would love to hear from you. Thanks.
