Coming out of Brokenness - Let it go!

From the memoirs of a woman who lived a life of brokenness time and time again and survived, what tried to break her down, only turned out to be her strength.

Through life we go through seasons, or shall we say chapters, and in each chapter of our life it is always different. There can be a good chapter and there can be a bad chapter, but no matter the chapter we survive through each chapter of life by the grace of God. I always have memories of the different seasons I’ve been in, all the different chapters of my life. They come at spur of the moments where I will remember things that happened whether they are good or bad. Trauma’s I have endured, special moments with my kids, places I’ve been to, and many of my experiences over my life. I used to keep diaries of the things that used to happen to me in my early years of life through my traumas and the traumatic abuse I’ve endured of the years of physical and mental abuse that I had been through, but unfortunately those journals got lost. I can only count on small moments of memories of things that had happened in my past and to be able to jot those things down in remembrance. Our life is a book a testimony, and it is a good thing when we can share our experiences with other’s, that can help others overcome the same situations that we ourselves once experienced. Many times at some point in our lives we feel like giving up, but there is always that one thing that pulls on our spirit that will keep us going, and that one thing, that one person is God. God is what keeps us going because he is protecting us, protecting our spirit even when we don’t even see it, and we don’t even know it throughout the turmoil, the trials the traumas the heartache. God is still always by our side, no matter what. We are always hard on ourselves because we get ourselves in situations that we feel as if we cannot get out of and our lives just seem to be not in our control. This is when we have to really truly trust God and leave everything at the feet of Jesus. This is when we let everything go.

1 Peter 5:7 says, “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”

Many times people have hurt us in the past and we hold onto those grudges and it keeps us bound. Sometimes it keeps us so bound we don’t even realize it. This is when we really need to do a self check and get into concentration with the Lord. Sometimes we have to ask God why do I keep bringing up the past? Why do I still have animosity towards those who hurt me? If you feel that way, that is because you have never let it go. Letting the past go and giving it all to God and forgiving those that have hurt you, forgiveness is the best healing for your soul, for your spirit. It helps you to move forward in what God has for you in your life, you don’t have to stay broken, you don’t have to stay bound. God wants you to be set free.

I used to dwell on the ones that hurt me in the past, but God has shown me that was causing more harm than good. It was keeping me from being myself and who I was in Christ, it was keeping me from what God wanted me to do for him. God had shown me that even loving and forgiving those that hurt us and releasing them to God and praying for their soul and their deliverance will set US free.

Matthew 5:44 says, “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;”

I know, moving on is hard, but God always provides provision and guides us every step of the way, trust me I know I’ve been through it time and time again.

Psalms 9:9-10 says “The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. 10) And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.”

I have learned to put all my trust in God and fully submit and commit to him and him alone. Living a concentrated life dwelling in the Lord‘s presence. I pray that this word will bless you. There is always healing after the brokenness …..trust in the Lord.

If you haven’t gotten my book Broken 2 B Healed, my life testimony, it is a powerful read. I encourage you to get it. It is my life testimony of how I’ve been through many traumas, a life of abuse and how demons tried to take me out time and time again, but God had other plans and without God I wouldn’t be where I’m at today. All the glory goes to him.

Be blessed and be set free…
