Healing from the pain

Hey there, how are you all doing? Long time no post ayy. School took most of my time and I had to face it squarely at that point. Wanted to share something a bit personal today, it might encourage someone. Enjoy the rest of the post.

May-June was a turning point for me in so many ways but mostly going through a very painful period of my life. I would say it was the most painful period, never before experienced such change in my life.

I’m not here to talk about it but I just want to share how I started moving on from it. It was hard to really talk about how I felt to people because the right answer I could get was “you have to just move past the pain” like it was that easy. However, the right answer is not the best answer most times.

I wasn’t one to really want to feel pain, I just push it off but I realised it wasn’t good for my mental health. I tried pushing it off and not talking about it but I had like three breakdowns, it was eating me up and there was like this pileup of everything. I finally opened up and I was glad I did. Though I didn’t get the best replies from some of the people I spoke with, but I was a bit free.

However, I’ve come to realise that if you haven’t been through a situation, it is hard to give help to another in that position. I spoke with two people that had been through it and they gave me amazing replies, they didn’t just tell me the place to go, rather they shared the direction to get to the place of healing.

They prayed for me, and encouraged me so much. Not long after, I read a Kenneth Hagin book titled “In Him” and just declared who I am in Christ Jesus and What I have in Christ Jesus. I started reminding myself that my identity is tied to what the Word of God says I am in Christ Jesus and what Christ has done.

This book and the word of God transformed my mind. I get strength daily from the Word of God and prayer.

This doesn’t mean there are days that I don’t feel it but gradually it’s fading away. It’ll take time to heal but I’ll get there.

The lessons I learnt through this period are that; you don’t have give an answer immediately whenever someone opens up to you, sometimes just listen. Also, for those going through a painful period, it takes time to heal emotionally but you have to feed your mind with words of encouragement and build up yourself. Talk to people that’ll help you, it’ll help your healing process. If you need to cry, cry. Do something you love and be glad. And know that God loves you and His love exceeds the pain you feel.

I hope this encourages someone, I love you guys and I hope to be back in full soon.

Have an amazing weekend. Leave a comment down below plus if you love my look, give a thumbs up. Lol.
