Hello Everyone. Recently, I read these words written by Steve De’lano Garcia. “One of the rarest and most beautiful languages of love is the quiet act of self-healing done, not just for ourself, but for our relationships … When someone chooses to work on themselves, to look honestly at their wounds, their triggers, and their patterns, they are speaking a love language that is quiet, but profound. It is the language of responsibility, of ownership, of saying, “I see the ways I could hurt you, and I choose to do the work so that I don’t.” This kind of love is not loud. It does not demand recognition. But it builds a foundation for lasting intimacy that nothing else can match … In the quiet, uncelebrated acts of self-healing, we find the truest form of love – a love that does not demand, but gives; that does not blame, but takes responsibility; that does not withhold, but shares the journey of becoming. May you always remember that you deserve this kind of love.”
If self-healing is new to us, how do we begin our transformation? We’re blessed to know that Jesus is the creator of transformation. In Him, we’re transformed by the renewing of our minds. In Him, we’re a new creation; the old has passed away. In Him, all things have become new. In Him, all things are of God.
Let’s remember the words in Philippians 4:8 – “Finally, Brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy, meditate on these things.”
Let’s allow these words to fill our hearts and minds permanently. These words help us to self-heal; to grow; to build each other up; to encourage one another. They help us enable God to pour love through us to our families and to people everywhere.
We need help to self-heal, and God’s Word is just the place to find that help.
Let’s open our Bibles today. As always, the choice is ours. Amen
