Behind a Toxic person is a Wounded Soul

These are some of the characteristics of a toxic person. And you can find them anywhere. We can even notice some of these traits if we try to look at ourselves. And the sad truth is, people try to address the character instead of dealing with the main issue. What you physically saw and observed from someone are just symptoms of what’s within.

The root of the negative traits can be found inside the heart. If you try to dig deeper, you’ll discover that behind every bad action are wounds that can’t be easily healed. And it needs to be acknowledged first before you can go through the healing process. Sometimes, it’s the hardest thing to do. Accepting the truth that you need help takes a humble and courageous heart. But it’s going to be worth it. You just have to patiently embrace the journey.

If you consider yourself a toxic person, then let God heal your soul. Talk to Him and ask for help. Let Him reveal to you the deep wounds that you need to face. Maybe you couldn’t recognize them because you are scared that you might experience the pain. But if you keep on hiding the things that are meant to be exposed, then it will slowly manifest in your character. You will find it hard to control them if you just keep the wounds within. So be humble in the arms of God and let His love heal what’s broken. Acknowledge His power and depend on Him.

Be patient with yourself. Don’t focus on the symptoms. Instead, fix your eyes on what’s within. Work on the matters of your heart. Build your foundation so that you’ll learn to overcome the pain. Ask God’s grace to consume you, and He will fill your heart with His love. Only then will you learn to also serve other people. The complete transformation will not happen instantly. It takes time and hard work. You need to learn how to listen to the voice of God and allow Him to take over. The journey is sometimes painful, but as long as you are eager to change them, God will give you what you desire. He will renew your heart and fill it with His power.

If you also happen to meet a toxic person in your life, then remember that their main problem is not their negative character. They are wounded souls that need healing. So instead of judging them for their unwanted traits, choose to intercede and pray for their hearts. Ask God to teach them and heal their deep wounds within. Ask for a compassionate heart that’s willing to love them despite the things they did. Pray that He will pour out His love so that you will have the courage to forgive them. Toxic people need our prayers. So surrender them to God and allow Him to take over.
