God understands your pain and brokenness

No one understands your pain better than the one who created and designed you. He sees your pain and brokenness. He sees every event in your life, and He was there as you experienced it. He knows who were the people that hurt you and how the pain affects you until this day. There might be times when traumas haunt you making you unable to forgive the people involved and even yourself. Sometimes, the pain is left hidden but never healed. That is because the experience becomes too painful for you to revisit and let go. You want to keep on moving on. Get on in your life and just focus on what is to come. However, you need to know that you are not alone because God is with you. You can do nothing with the past, but healing is always given and available. Although it is not easy to release it, believe deep within yourself that it is not impossible. 

God won’t rush you to heal yourself, for it is a process not forcibly imposed. Some people might understand and listen to you, but they will never satisfy the thirst that your heart is yearning for. Not every time you have someone to talk to. Sometimes, you will even look for it in the wrong places only to figure out that the pain only grows until it worsens.

Healing is not impossible. It is always available, but sometimes it will take extra effort to find it. However, it starts with the idea that God understands you. He is a good Father, even if your life got messed up. Know that He never wants to break you. He only wants you to know and realize that you need Him more and more in your life.

Do not be afraid to cry it out loud to Him. Do not be ashamed of the things that you didn’t do. Bring your knees to Him. Show Him how the scars make you feel unclean and how the things that happened steal the worth that you have for yourself. Show Him how vulnerable you are and how helpless you feel. Tell Him everything, even the things you cannot tell anyone. Know that you are safe in His arms. He knows the pain that you have been through because He can also feel it, but He will not erase it right away. Instead, He will show you how you can handle it. He will teach you how healing starts and why you need it. 

Sometimes, it is hard to accept the things that God will be teaching us. But know that it is always worth it in the end. Just bear in mind that He always understands you, and He wants you to make the most in life. God will always help you in every walk of your life and will never seize to bless you. He is there in happiness and in pain. He is with you whenever you feel lonely and anxious. Believe that good things always happen because He is good and He loves you dearly.
