We must do more than say “I was hurt” or “I was abused” if we are really going to see change in our lives and in our relationships. We need to stop covering our wounds with Band-Aids believing that if no one can see it then they will go away. We must have the courage to look at the wound and to see how the infection of our soul wound is robbing us of all that we long for. Until we are willing to take the risk to look deep, there will be no healing.
