Painful Memories

There are times when someone may hurt you with words or actions. You may need healing from the wounds of painful memories. God is still in the business of healing the pains of your past. Jesus was sent by God our Father to comfort the brokenhearted and to announce that captives will be set free (Isaiah 61:1, NLT). Be free from the painful memories of your past. The Lord Jesus will set you free.

Forgive those who hurt you. Receive healing from painful memories. Forgiving is a choice of your will. We are forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you (Ephesians 4:32, NLT). The refusal to forgive leads to bitterness, rage, anger, and harsh words. On the contrary, forgiving others opens the door for God to heal you.

When someone hurts us, we become angry. That's a normal response because we have been treated unfairly. However, that anger must be processed and resolved. Otherwise, the anger becomes toxic in your life. And don't sin by letting anger gain control over you (Ephesians 4:26, NLT). Process your anger through prayer, and ask God to heal your painful memories.

As a believer, Jesus is your Healer. He can heal your broken heart. He loves you sincerely and always. He is for you. Don't give up hope of healing your past. Ask him to heal your painful memories. Be free from the painful memories of your past.
