LIMPING: Secret Soul Injuries

It's easy to identify life wounds;

Tragedies, losses, mistakes, regrets. Each with varying impacts like fossil imprint reminders etched permanently as scars in our stories.

Some testify to lessons learned along the way, others we would prefer to erase or rewrite.

There are deeper subtle underskin injuries, below the surface which slowly erode from the inside;

Unreturned prodigals

Broken promises

Faded friendships

Unanswered prayers

Loneliness

Dreams slipping away

Disappointment

Doubt.....our lists are personal and painful.

Momentarily visible in vulnerability but often masked by adaptation and self-learned tolerance.

We know how to carry on.

Push through.

Find a way.

Live with it.

Ignore it....

Denial is a dangerous dance!

Fun Fact: feet are intricately connected to our entire body. Misaligned walking (or dancing) impacts every function.

A few steps with a stone in the shoe gradually becomes miles of self-inflicted disability.

Perseverence and resilience are not meant to be crutches.

A milligram of courage is enough to admit the internal bleeding.

A micrograin seed of faith exterminates unbelief giants.

Life is for living not limping.

Rest, recovery, healing and wholeness are not out of reach.

Psalm 23:3

"He leads me beside still waters.

He restores my soul.

He guides me along the right paths...."
