Reflections of a Healing Heart

Healing is a process, a personal process that encompasses individual strength, behaviors, actions, and attitudes. We get to decide, when, how, and why we complete the healing process. Many times, we petition for God to speak, to acknowledge, or to send a sign for the pain, challenges, and places we face. If we listen close enough or pay attention, we will find He does send a Word through a scripture, person, circumstance, or our own prayers. Unfortunately, there are times we simply miss "it"! Times when we overlook the exact thing we asked God for and there are times when we can''t recognize God''s answer amid our troubles because they feel so loud, big, painful.
This compilation of Love Letters, Notes of Encouragement, Pivot Points and Prayers are a remembrance of God''s Word speaking to the challenges, pains, and places over a young adult life resulting in hope, encouragement, and connection. Through the Love Letters we see how God''s love is revealed and supported by scripture. In Notes of Encouragement, we find God''s word releasing us from the frustrations of disappointment, resentment and perceived failed opportunities. In Pivot Points, we find God''s word soothing our decisions, discretions, and renewing hope. Finally, in Prayers we find an honest conversation with the Father.
The reflections within the Love Letters, Notes of Encouragement, Pivot Points and Prayers acknowledge the hurt which began the healing process. We all deserve to heal from past hurts to embrace the possibilities of future happiness. Recognizing that the Father will answer, that healing is possible, and He wants us to be filled with the Fruit of the Spirit is a beautiful phenomenon filled with real hope. There is a petition for each of you to lean in, to listen for, or remember when, God spoke directly to your challenge, pain, and place. Be encouraged.
