Welcome to Growth and Grace, where we grow through what we go through and we give God the glory every step of the way. I want to talk to the part of you that still smiles in public but hurts in private. The part of you that keeps showing up for everyone else but quietly wonders, when is it my turn to be whole? Today's podcast is simple but powerful. God wants to heal you everywhere you hurt. Not just the visible wounds, not just the things people know about, but the hidden places, the silent struggles, the emotional scars, the disappointment, the betrayal, the grief. God is not intimidated by your pain. He is not overwhelmed by your story. And he is not selective about his healing. If it concerns you, it concerns him. So today, we're going to walk through what it means to let God heal you completely, spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and even physically. Stay with me because healing is not just possible, it's available. Let me tell you something. There have been seasons in my life where I looked whole on the outside, but I was hurting in places nobody could see. I kept showing up faithfully, consistently. I kept moving. I kept doing what needed to be done. But I wasn't healed. I was simply functioning. And there is a difference between functioning and being whole. We read in Psalms 147 and 3, He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. Now notice something. That means God sees the heartbreak no one apologized for, the disappointment you never talked about, and the pain you buried just to keep going. And he's saying, Bring it to me. Let's talk about the different kinds of hurt. Because some of you are dealing with emotional wounds that still sting very much. Some of you are dealing with betrayal from people you trusted. Some of you are dealing with church hurt that made you pull back. Some of you are dealing with family wounds that never got resolved. And some of you are dealing with silent disappointments that changed how you see things. And the truth is, just because time passed doesn't mean it heals. Now let's be honest. Sometimes it's not that God won't heal us, it's that we don't let him. We avoid it. We stay busy so we don't have to feel it. We say, I'm fine when we're not. We normalize pain and call it strength. But God is not asking you to manage your pain, he's asking you to release it. Now I want to share a few truth points here. Number one, healing requires honesty. You cannot heal what you refuse to acknowledge. So say it plainly. God, that hurt me. God, I don't understand that. Because healing begins where honesty lives. Number two, understand that healing is a process. Isaiah 61 and 1 says he came to bind up the brokenhearted. Binding takes time layer by layer, moment by moment. So stop rushing your healing. Just respect it. And number three, God heals the impact. You know, sometimes the situation is over, but the effect of it is still living in you. Fear, trust issues, guardedness. So God doesn't just heal what happened, He heals what it did to you. Now let me give you something you can actually do right now. Number one, name the hurt. Be specific. God, I was hurt when they walked away. God, I was hurt when I was overlooked. Whatever that is, name the hurt. Number two, release it daily, not once, but daily. Because healing is a process, like I just said. Healing is a process of surrender. Number three, replace the lie. If pain told you you're not enough, if pain told you you'll never get over it, if pain told you all the lies, you've got to replace it with the truth. I am fearfully and wonderfully made. That's Psalms 139 and 14. Number four, give yourself grace. Stop punishing yourself for what God is trying to heal. Plain and simple. Now let's talk about what healing looks like. Because healing doesn't always look like forgetting. Sometimes healing looks like you can remember it, but it doesn't control you anymore. You can talk about it without breaking down. You can see them without bitterness, and you can trust again without fear. Now that's, yeah, that's the image of healing. Now right now, I want you to pause, take a breath, and ask yourself, where am I still hurting? Don't rush past it. Don't ignore it. Just sit there for a moment. And when you're ready, now say this quietly. God is healing me. God is restoring me. God is making me whole. And I will not stay broken. Amen. Now before I end this podcast, I would love to have the opportunity to pray for you. Father, in the name of Jesus, I lift up every listener right now. You see them, you know them. You understand every place where they hurt. Maybe it started in childhood. Maybe their teenage years. Maybe in adulthood. Lord, whatever it is, I ask you that you begin to heal them deeply, completely, and intentionally. Touch the places they don't talk about and restore what was broken. Heal what was wounded, every word, every action, every thought, and bring peace where there has been pain. Remove every lie that has attached itself to their hurt and replace it with truth, with love and with identity. Give them the courage to face what they've been avoiding and the strength to walk through the healing process no matter how long it takes. God, we trust you not just as Savior, but as healer. And we thank you in advance that healing is already in motion. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen. Now if this message spoke to you, please send this podcast to three people who need healing. Someone who's been strong for too long, someone who's been silent about their pain, or someone who just needs to know that God still heals. And as always, keep growing, keep trusting, and keep walking in grace. I'll see you on the next episode.
