Hey y’all! Hope you have had a great week. I have been sick again, so frustrating sometimes but I will keep on keeping on.
Recently, I’ve been thinking about how often our brokenness can keep us stuck at the place of our pain. The place where our pain first began. I’m only speaking for myself but I personally have struggled with this at times. Maybe you have too?
I’m so thankful at how God has brought me through so many dark places in my life and I’m seeing victory and freedom and then there are still some areas where I’m not there....YET. It’s that thorn of the flesh so to speak. But, it continues to draw me closer to God and that is a great thing.
I may not be there YET and you might not be there YET....but we are not where we use to be and that’s news worth shouting! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Freedom is there for the taking we just have to continue to walk it out, walk through some things.....let go of some things, to get to what’s already been placed INSIDE OF US. He’s already placed everything we need on the inside of us. Isn’t that awesome?!?!
For me, the brokenness I’m referring to in my life is from someone who hurt me years ago but sometimes the wound can still be so fresh. Different sounds, smells, situations can bring that memory flooding back to me and each time I have choose to forgive. See forgiveness isn’t a feeling, because if I’m honest in the past I’ve been like “Lord get em, drop large boulder and some hot coals on them, make them suffer like they’ve hurt me.” Now I know that’s not Christian like but that’s the hurt and human side of me and it’s just me being real. But my God says to forgive and forgiveness is a choice and one we have to continue to make over and over again. I’ve found eventually over time, and it might take a long time but our feelings will catch up and that person, that event, or situation won’t feel the same anymore.
Circling back to the getting stuck at the point of our pain I spoke of at the beginning. See I’ve been there and it’s a dark place. But sometimes when your stuck there you need someone to come to where your at, sit with you, hold you, and cry with you. There’s healing in those tears. There’s healing when a friend or loved one comes to that dark place your at and their willing to be with you and lift you up. It might even be the person that made you get stuck at the point of your pain. What a beautiful thing I think that is but sometimes it’s not. Sometimes it’s a friend/loved one you’ve confided in or its Jesus....our Savior. He comes to our rescue if you call on Him.
He loved me at my darkest. He came to the pit I was in and called me out. He took off my grave clothes and He gave me a new name. He’ll do the same for you too.
See when I felt unworthy and unlovable, He told me He loved me with an everlasting love.
When I felt ugly and unwanted, He called me cherished, beautiful and accepted.
When I felt shame and guilt for what had been done to me, He told me I have been redeemed and set free.
I am a new creature in Christ.
I am chosen, holy and blameless before God.
I am Gods masterpiece, the apple of His eye.
Maybe you need to hear that today. You are beautiful, treasured, cherished, fearfully and wonderfully made, and precious in His sight. You are loved with an everlasting love and nothing you can do can separate you from the love of God. YOU....precious one are chosen, holy, and dearly loved! THAT IS WHO YOU ARE! Make no mistake.
God bless you! Have a blessed and wonderful weekend. If I can pray for somehow please let me know, I’d be honored to do so.

When my eyes cannot see it’s your voice that’s leading me, out of darkness into light. It’s your love breaking through the night I won’t move until you speak….You Break the walls apart. You heal the wounded heart, I won’t move until you speak. You calm the raging sea. You crush the enemy. I won’t move until you speak💗
Big hugs,
Nicole💗
