Open Hands, Healed Heart: Heart Posture & Allowing God’s Healing to Take Away What You’ve Been Storing
Some of us have gotten so good at carrying the hurt that we’ve started to call it strength.
In this episode of Naturally His, we’re opening up one of the most tender — and most necessary — conversations in the healing journey: what happens when we store the hurt instead of releasing it, and what it truly looks like to let God’s healing reach the places we’ve been protecting for a very long time.
We’re talking about heart posture — not as a spiritual buzzword, but as the real, measurable orientation of your inner life that affects everything from your relationships to your immune system to the way your body holds tension while you sleep.
Because here’s what I’ve learned from my own healing journey: I have been on both sides of this wound. I have been the one who was hurt — and I have been the one who did the hurting. And what I discovered is that one hurt feeds another hurt, cycling through us quietly, until we make the decision to give it up to the Lord and allow His healing to go all the way to the root.
