Many of us avoid memories of hurtful people and hurtful cirmcumstances from our childhood and even adulthood. In fact, walls are sometimes built in our brains that keep us from accessing these memories to protect us from the pain.
The amazing truth is that if we face these memories in the loving presence of Jesus, they are healed and I become more alive and more free than before. The past no longer becomes a roadblock for healthy relationships and life, but a roadway of bricks that represent a life of greater beauty and success.
This imperfect life of mine becomes an avenue of healing for others as I share the victory that comes when I courageously examine painful memories and let Jesus heal them and use them for good.
