While talking with my little brother who is currently in a season where he is struggling to remain in the will of God, we got onto the subject of childhood trauma or pain. It is often that when we find God, we start to encounter situations or circumstances that causes us to become aware of the hurt that we are holding onto. Though we serve a God that is tender and wishes to heal all the things that are unwell within us, we fear the pain of what the exposure will cost us. Maybe you aren’t in a place of where you would like to open up your heart into the Father, maybe there are factors in your current environment that are causing you to want to remain closed off from anything that will reveal to the enemy or others that you are weak. Can I encourage you in this moment, just as I did my little brother and tell you this…that God our father is waiting for you on the other side of your fear. So keep your head up, and your eyes on Him.
