CUT The Hidden Scars
We wear our pain like armor for all we’ve been through, for all we’ve survived, building layers of walls to keep others out, containing our bleeding within, not ever realizing we are in need of healing—healing from our past, healing from our pain. Time…will not do it!We all have experienced hurts and pain, leaving well-hidden scars on the inside, with enormous voids ready to be filled. In a world full of addictions and temptations at our disposal, we are deceptively offered relief from the mounting pressures building within yet leaving us numb.We may have suffered great loss, abandonment, betrayal, horrible offenses, rejection, and abuses of many kinds, leaving us confused and untrusting, taking matters into our own hands. We may be stuck in a time loop reliving past offenses and hurtful events, bitter and scarred by the hurt of others who have inflicted their pain on us.We may feel we are unable to heal, no matter what we do, no matter how hard we try—our pain just keeps coming back!
