Let go and let God heal you

" Let go and let God heal you" is one the most remarkable lines I heard from one sharer during a church conference several years ago. It's stuck in my mind and I always tell it to myself when I go through some tough and hurtful times. We all go through situations where we get hurt, either from other people, ourselves or even from God.

I said from people and we all know why. We get hurt from our families, special someone, colleagues, friends and it is inevitable. Worse, sometimes the last person we expect to hurt us, is the one person who causes us the most heatbreaking, agonizing experience. I know for sure that that pain doesn't easily go away and it does leave a scar. I have been hurt many times and for every pain I had had, I swear I cried gallons and gallons of tears.

We get hurt from ourselves. Yes, we do. We believe in ourselves and we set high hopes. We struggle to achieve our goals. We work hard to make our dreams come true. But, sometimes no matter how hard we try, we just don't get what we want. We get hurt from ourselves because we sometimes think that we are losers. We are slum. We are stupid. When a relationship fails, we blame ourselves. When we lose our jobs, we feel stupid. When we disobey God, we feel guilty and we get stuck in that guilt. We get hurt from ourselves when we make mistakes, when we fail, when we are not able to achieve our goals and when we think we don't please God.

We get hurt from God, Yep, we do. When we get hurt from people and ourselves unexpectedly, we ask God why. When our prayers are not answered, we wonder why. When something goes wrong, we question God why it happened. God has His own reason and I'm sure that in the end, we will all say " God meant it for good". God isn't going to reveal to us YET the reason why, unless we take a leap of faith and hold to Him.

I mentioned about these things because I know that many of us, including me, when we feel pain, we feel like we can't get out of it anymore. We linger on that pain. We wobble. We let the world stop turning. Come on! Snap out the wrong mindset. Shake it off. Forgive people. Forgive yourself. Forgive God. Let go and let God heal you. Remember that we will always collide with other people. We are all different and we cannot have everybody love us no matter how good we think we are. So forgive them...let go!

Forgive yourself. We are not perfect. A lyric from Miley Cyrus' song says... " there's always gonna be another mountain. Always gonna be an uphill battle. Sometimes it might knock me down. Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose.- yes of course! As long as we are breathing, we will go through many circumstances that will shake us and hurt us. So let go. Learn from that experience and when you get knocked down, get up and get back up! Climb up another hill until you reach the top. Faithful men in the bible experienced failures, miseries, unfairness, long wait, long journey. Yet, they never gave up. Not to mention how much blessed they've become after.

Forgive God. Believe in His promise. Have faith that your future is certain and that He got you at the palm of His hands. Don't ever doubt on His plans on your life just because you didn't get what you're asking for. Always remember that HIS mind is Higher than the heavens above, therefore, He has the brightest and best intention for us. God loves us unconditionally. If we have done something beyond His will, just ask for forgiveness and know that He is more than ready to forgive us and forget whatever wrong we did. His is faithful and His love for us always remains the same.

Anyone in pain right now, let go and let God heal you. It may not be easy and quick but remember that God is right beside you waiting to have the chance to wipe your tears away. Call onto HIM. He is waiting for you.

Glory to God!
