Every encounter I have had in the past left me with emotional scars, emotional glories or indifference. But most often I am left with a story.
These encounters then cause me to build a wall, high and wide or sometimes they just break down my wall.
It is certain that I will always take decisions based on my experiences. Oftentimes these decisions are not healthy for my future; Decisions that cause me to lose self confidence and torment my heart with fear, shyness, guilt and more.
You too have emotional encounters every single day of your life; Encounters that leave you with baggage or strip you of your joy. You then take decisions going forward which may be wrong as these only block you from being the best you that you can be.
These are decisions which sometimes cause you to lower your expectations and standards. Your heart believes the lie that you must settle for that which the word of God strictly forbids.
You start living the lie, the Deceiver then make it seems like this was just what you needed all this time, but you know within your heart your solution presents more questions than answers and brings you more trouble than ease. His prescription leaves you with too many side effects and ungodly actions and reactions.
Now you are at the place that I have been before. The place where you now realise you must stop and take stock of your life. You look at where you are now and where you want to be. You are determined to stop wasting time, stop distracting yourself and quit the idle jesting.
Then you do what I call an emotional inventory, so you look at all the bad experiences that you have had and the way they make you feel and live today. You also look at the decisions you have made from those encounters you’ve had and compare it to what the word of God says about you. Determined to move forward your soul is now ready to cry out, “Oh Lord, heal my heart”.
It is too dangerous to attempt to move forward without being healed; then again sometimes what you really need to be healed is a simple decision to move forward.
